It's Tickle a Teapotter time again already! And my BTPFF, Carla is our hostess. I call her my "best tea pot friend forever" because I've sent her two tickles in a row and my only two tickles ever. I love Carla's challenge today because I love faux techniques! And I love silly punny cards. I choose two faux techniques that I had never tried before. Faux Cloisonne and Faux Stitching. I choose this Bugaboo Digi because I think it's cute and almost punny and I colored it with Barbara's colors. I added a Faux Cloisonne butterfly which is made of a picture from Family Circle magazine of a little girl's jacket that had the right colors in it. I did my faux stitching in gold and framed with some gold DP to pull in the gold of the butterfly. I hope this card goes to a coffee drinker!
This also fits the Catch the Bug BINGO Challenge. The middle column works perfectly with sentiment, stitching, and player's choice (my choice is butterflies).

OMG...love EVERYTHING about this card. Your cups are spot on with the colors of the sample teapots. Super pretty butterfly. Like Sabrina, I only get magazines with fish or deer. Not so colorful.

LOL at your acronym for Miss Carla, aka your BTPFF. Your card is brilliant Jen, even if faux cloisonné sounds like an infectious disease. You are sure to make. Teapotter very happy indeed. I love everything about this!

Very cool, Jenn. Before I even read your description, I thought Cloisonne. I must try this. That image makes a wonderful pun with that sentiment! The gold details make this even more special.
