I made this card for today's sketch as well as the weekly Doubledog Dare Challenge.
Charlene (LilLuvsStampin) challenged us to use paper piecing, paper piercing and the colors Kraft, Rose, Black and Sage (optional) (oh, gosh - I hope stamping the teapot on DP and cutting it out counts as paper piecing - it's all one piece?!?!)
I used the wonderful Tea for Two set from Papertrey. Although the little teabag stamped on the pot (isn't it sweet!?!) is from the Everyday Classics set that was given free to people who ordered a certain amount from PTI last year.
You're welcome to join in on the Doubledog challenges - just use the Keyword DDC when you load your card so we can see it!

This is wonderful, Julia! I love the teapot and all the polka dots. Wait til Cindy (Mothermark) sees this. I believe teapots and polka dots are her middle names. Great color combo.

Your teapot seems like it is floating. How cool is that! I love the colors here. Your paper piercing is wonderful and adds that special touch. Fantastic card! TFS :0)
