Here's my card for Tuesday's Teapot Challenge. I'm so excited because I actually did a one layer card. I know one layer cards are supposed to be easier, but I'm usually not thrilled with my results unless I have layers and ribbons, etc. I couldn't resist adding the pearls though, which I colored with my Copic markers so they matched the flower exactly. (I'm not sure what company makes the sentiment stamp -- maybe CTMH?? I've had it in my stash since I first started stamping a LONG time ago!). To create the shadow block, I just tore some pieces of paper and masked off a rectangle, then I sponged ink and sponged and sponged until I got the effect I wanted (so I now have very inky fingers!)

Your shadow, rainbow effect turned out so beautiful. Love that flower with the added swirl and shadow stamp. I think one layer cards are very hard. Terrific job!
