It's time for another Teapot Party. We are heading off to Tee-heat-tea - in Teapot Tuesday Style. This week we are tickling another teapotter. I hope the teapotter that receives my card will be TICKLED. hERE is the link to the Teapotter Story.
It's a cruise to Tee-heat-tea, Teapot Tuesday Style! Make cards with a nautical theme. tropical scenes, and all those refreshing drinks we will have on our cruise!
My little House Mouse is relaxing on the beach in Tee-heat-tea - soaking up some lovely, warm sunshine. I sponged on the clouds using soft sky ink on the blue cardstock, next I stamped the palm image three times onto blue cardstock, and coloured in the leaves. Added gold liquid pearls to the trees (coconuts).
I stamped the HM image twice and coloured it. Cut out the Mouse and part of the umbrella and the sea shell. Popped these up over the base image. Added the diamond stickles. Plus I added the palm tree in the corner. Glue on the sea shells. Sentiment was stamped onto vellum and coloured. Layered over palm tree panel and sewed edges.
Thanks America, for the image...
Today's colour challenge - Whisper white, Island Indigo and Pool party and desert option was water. I have the blues and white, plus the beach scene is near the water. I hope this is ok to put into the colour challenge gallery and the challenge police won't come and get me
Hugs..Pat
