I didn't have very good lighting to work with this morning, so this isn't the best photo of my card for today's sketch challenge, as well as for the Mothermark Miss You teapot challenge hosted by MariLynn. MariLynn gave us a cute birthday hat teapot as our inspiration piece. You can find it in the forums here, if you'd like to play along (post #300):
MariLynn is continuing the Teapot Tuesday tradition (thanks, MariLynn!---in a slightly different format---while Cindy is taking off some needed R&R. In addition to using this inspiration piece, MariLynn challenged us to make our card a birthday card for Cindy since her birthday is in October.
As you can see, I drew upon the colors and the polkadots (Cindy loves da polkadots!!) from the birthday hat teapot.
I used my 3/4" circle punch for the Gable Green polkadots on the Tempting Turquoise panel, and I used my SU markers to color the Party Hearty birthday hats in the various colors. Circle Nestabilities worked perfect for cornering the "b is for birthday" sentiment and popping it up on dimensionals over the party hats. A Lovely Lilac button was added to the center of the "b".
