I found a digi picture of a tractor and watercolored it for Marie's challenge at the Teapot Tuesday challenge. I hand lettered the sentiment on the card. It was lots of fun and I can't wait to send my card off Marie's Uncle this week. Come join in with more challenges!

Oh wow this looks terrific, what a perfect scene. Your colouring and layout is brilliant and your hand written sentiment is great. I have just looked at all of our cards in the TPT gallery, I have never seen so many fine tractors and farm scenes.

You've found a wonderful picture and colored it beautifully! I love the geometric paper and piercing detail on your side panel. I had to re-read about your lettering - it looks just perfect! Uncle Lloyd will love this! Thank you so much for coming to his Teaparty. He is such a dear man and will get quite a kick out of the Teapotters' cards. Make sure to get a plate of those tractor cookies - I put out plenty to spare! Big hugs from NJ - stay warm!!

That is a cool image you found, Pat, and you coloured it beautifully. I like the pumpkins and leaves in the foreground - and I wish my writing was that neat!

I love that image Pat and what beautiful coloring on this! The image appears to be drawn in "stitches" and I love it! Love your idea of looking for images online! I never think to do this!

Great tractor image, Pat, and since the seat is covered, Uncle Lloyd won't get wet when its raining! Good idea to paper pierce instead of adding ribbon or such embellishments. Farmers are not into ribbons!!
