I am escaping the winter weather downunder in Australia. I have just arrived (through the front door of course!)at Hershey Park,USA for another one of Mothermark`s fabulous and fun tea parties!
To get the full story see this fab teapot and card;TeapotTuesday ~ The Teapot by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers Be careful,with all the beautiful flowers around,there are some bees!
I got the inspiration to use the flower stickers after seeing MariLynn`s beautiful card! Thanks MariLynn for the reminder to use them!

And I thought I had to travel a long way to Hershey Park! Your use of stickers and layers is a perfect interpretation of the challenge. It is the front door for you.

So very pretty....dainty..I love it. Looks like you embossed the second sheet? The Triple frame is so different. TFS
Just be very carefull wearing white to the choc party. There is no way you can go through Hershey Park without getting a little choc on something!

Hi Shirley! OMG! I thought I would never get here! What a day! I love your card! Its so cool how the flowers are framed! We did seem to have quite a few bees here...maybe they are after the sweetness of the chocolate too! It seems so weird as we are in the heat of summer to know that you are in the middle of winter where you live! But its nice that you were able surround yourself with flowers today!
Thank you so much for coming. I am so sorry I was so late in greeting you! I had a busy day at work....or should I say, I got stuck on the roller coaster! Snort, yeah that's it, that's why I am late getting here! I was stuck on the roller coaster! Hee!

This is so beautiful! I love the white frames and the gorgeous flower stickers! They capture the look of Cindy's teapot night light perfectly! Glad you could escape the winter for a bit!

Awesome card. Your stickers look so realistic looking!! It looks so much like the little teapot. I love all the layering and the embossed layer especially.

What a lovely botanical card. My DH's brother and his family are over from Sydney and haven't been able to get over the good weather they have been enjoying here. Till last night, when we had thunderstorms and flooding. But by Irish standards it's certainly hot enough for them not to be feeling the cold.
Love the elegant shape to this, perfect for the teapot-light, along with the ribbed effect I am sure I can see.

Oh, this is spot-on for the teapot challenge. Absolutely gorgeous flower images and wonderful texture from your scoring. How come so many saw the lines in the light except me?
I am lame, hear me roar! Beautiful, beautiful card!
