I made a second card for the teaparty today. I used a little pumpkin image that I got from my friend Patty. She is one of the finalists in the Scrapbox Contest. She is LaLatty. If you haven't voted already you should check out her story. It is so cute and creative:
I also felt bad that I hadn't included the sunflower on my first card. This card is almost too busy, but I like how it turned out.
It is an easel card.(TLC242# I used 4 punched leaves glued together to make the stopper. I also made an accordian fold flower with a button that I got from Kelly, aka Schirmcat. I did retiform for the big panel. I punched leaves in the masks that I used for the retiform. Added a polka dotted bow in honor of Cindy. We miss you Cindy!!!!:#

Perfect sunflower!! I am sorry that I just took the pumpkin and ran with it, because this teapot is really so lovely it deserves a better attempt - like yours .
