This card will be going for the Teapot challenge this week, but it fits into so many of the DTGD challenges, that it's going there too.
This card will be going to Debby, the sister of I love rubber (Elizabeth). Debby has breast cancer, went through all the treaments, but the drug tamoxifen did some pretty nasty things to Debby's system. Debby is now in the hospital with Parkinson's, a result of the drug and it's bad side effects. So the Teapotters have been rounded up to send her some cheer!
I wanted to send cheerful polka dotted poppies (the teapot is black and white), they are alike, and as different as two sisters can be.
The whole Splendid Oval is popped up, so that the blue vellum bg doesn't touch the white card base.
I did my usual embroidery, but used a 20 spacing so all of the sewing would be on the black part.
I love that Debby has the same last name as me, though we are not related. She may think she is getting a card from a relative.
To the moderators, I'm sorry this Teapot challenge card is uploaded early, but it's also for many of the DTGD challenges!

Jennifer, this card is perfect in every way. Your MMTPT cards always are done to perfection and filled with love. Love this design with the polka dot flowers, delicate green leaves and stems all within an elegant scrolly oval frame. The gingham bow works perfectly and gives the card a "homey" feeling.

This is *stunning* Jennifer! Absolutely perfect clean design, the vellum is surprisingly simple yet breathtakingly beautiful as a backdrop for your lovely die cuts. Into the faves, my friend! Hugz!

Jennifer, what a happy card. You just can't help but smile when you see polka dots, I'm sure Debby will just love it.

PS It reminds me of church this past week- 2 ladies at church were wearing polka dots - one white with black dots and one back with white dots and they looked adorable standing next to each other.
