The destination station this week is to Rita, who was recently diagnosed with lung cancer.
The challenge this week is to bring at least 3 daisies (oops) birdies, bumblebees, but No trees! Well I didn't bring a tree, but I fell short on the daisies and I have a butterfly & ladybugs instead of a bird...I guess it's the back door for me! lol
I used last weeks MOJO198 sketch for my card today.
This is Deacon Bugs, he is a Bugaboo image available in stamp form from Totally Stampalicious. I coloured him with copics and added some crystal effects to the ladybugs & bee, some glitter to the bees wings & tiny gems to the flower centers.
The card base is riding hood red, with a layer of white and a layer of daffodil delight dp. On the white side I stamped it with a stamp from the SU Polkadots & Petals set in black to look like the teapot.
The faux stitching was made with the zigzag sew easy tool and a 0.3 black copic liner.
The strips are just scrap dp I had and the butterfly was made with the sizzix die & daffodil delight. I sponged the edges lightly with riding hood red and added a couple red gems in the center.

An adorable card. Love how you took the elements of the teapot and redid them in neat way to have a card with a different theme. Maybe the boy is standing on a daisy! ? : )
