The TLC challenge panel I made was sitting on my desk and it was kind of bright so I hadn't done anything with it yet. When the teapotter challenge called for bright colors, I decided it could fill the bill. And I hope this little "Big Girl" gives Connie some encouragement.
I wrapped a very fibery twine areound my block and stamped with Bermuda bay ink first and that didn't give me much. so I inked up the twine with some acrylic paint. That gave me much more pattern but covered up most of the Bermuda bay that I did have. So I wrapped a smaller block and stamped with Bermuda bay again.

What an adorable card! I love that you thought your bright background from the TLC would work for the Teaparty - it is just wonderful for this sweet image (which by the way is beautifully colored!) I love the sentiment that you used as well - Connie will love this. Thanks so much for coming to her Teaparty. Grab some of those eyeglass cookies for yourself... and some for your "Big Girl!"

This is just darling! Love the sentiment, love your colours. And your twine stamping looks amazing - in the top corner it almost makes me think of ferns. I've had a busy week and have only kept up on comments for the TPT challenge but I'm hoping to get a chance to catch up with the TLC challenge and see what everybody stamped with.

Everything about this is wonderful. I love the sentiment and your super cute little gal in her big girl pants, this is sure to bring lots of smiles to Connie.
