Beaut-i-ful...I am on time for this week's Tea Party...now I would like to mention at this stage that the teapot in this picture is WHITE!!! So it is for this weeks Challenge (just incase you are wondering!) Just to back up my claims I have put it next to my WHITE teapot.....I feel like I am in the 'groove' now as I have something the same as our very own MOTHERMARK!!! It is my 'claim to fame' for the week! I have also combined it with last week's challenge based on the fabulous Tea Pot that Dawn (aka Flowergal36) made for Cindy...so pink with white spots is the way to go with this one!!
This Sugar Nellie image is the cutest little thing - and those legs - they were a challenge in themselves to colour!!! LOL! I have also used the Bandanna Technique with the Paisley Embossed background, using my White Gel Pen....that was fun, especially as I love paisley!! I have coloured this image with both wet and dry chalks, adding Kindy Glitz to the flower centres and Dimensional Magic to the Teapot. Paper piercing is added to the corners of the DP and around the image....then of course there are the flowers....and brads - this is a 'girly girl' card, as my DD2 would say! The gorgeous pink ribbon is from a RAK sent to me by Krafty Kylie...I love the sheen on it!
Cindy...I am so happy to be on time this week...and to have brought a combined effort 'to the table' - I miss being at the parties, they are so much fun...and I am so well behaved too LOL!! I thought I would bring Raspberry Tea to this party, just for a change (and the colour is perfect with the rest of the card)....gotta keep perspective happening!! Please sit me at the sedate table as I have a case of JETLAG and may need ' recovery' time - and we all know your Tea Parties tend to be on the...shall we say...'interesting' side!! LOL!! But bring me to the front when Marilynn comes in - I wanna see the birthday girl (Happy Birthday Marilynn!!!) Let's hope there is plenty of action - hopefully Dawn and Peggy won't encourage me to be naughty...I try hard not to be - BUT WHAT IS A GIRL TO DO!!!?!? LOL!
Thank you for looking...and for your comments...please check out MotherMark's Tea Party - I have about 53 windows open at the moment and when I find her blog, I will come back and link it!!! And please - Pass the tea love - I'm fading away here!!! By the way - there is more chatter on my NEW BLOG...I would love to see you there! http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/

All I can say is Wow. I am not usually a pink gal, but this card just has so many lovely little details, all so beautiful. I really like the fancy punched corners on the image panel.
But I can't help wondering how she is going to pour a full cup of tea from that little pot. And a cup is never enough for me - I like big mugs .

Do I missbehave...nah, it's my little Kenya fairy, she has a think with white, she needs to make it chocolate or brown, any darker color anyway. So I'd keep that pretty white teapot away from her. LOL

I just love this cute teapot card. Polka dots work for any of MM's challenges. She loves them. So good to see you at the tea party. I am so sorry that cat got in and caused me to spill my drink on your beautiful outfit. I guess he is one of Rocky's off springs.
