I've been watching the Tuesday Teapot challenge thread for a little while now but I keep hesitating to jump in. When I decided to make a card today, and decided on my image, I went to the forum to see what challenge they had today. The challenge is to use a cat! I'd already chosen a cat, so I figured it was meant to be! Here I am with my first Tuesday Teapot Challenge card!
The image is Tom Cat Fishing by Meljen's Designs. I coloured him with my Copic Markers. I kept things simple since this was going to be a card for my husband.

Welcome! What a great card for your tea pot debut! That image is adorable - and I really like the cord and huge eyelets.
Thanks for the source of the image - this is a card MY dh would also like!

I always liked that image, and several times combed Meljen's shop for it till I realised it was a freebie. I think what you've done with it is just gorgeous; I like the way the eyelets and twine add to the masculine feel and go with the fishing theme. Welcome to the tea-party!

Welcome to the Tea Party! I think you'll find it lots of fun with a great bunch of gals. And if you choose, you can send you card to some one who needs encouragement, comforting or good wishes.
Your card is delightful. Love your image and how beautifully you colored it. Wonderful details too. You did a SUPER job!
