Hello everyone...I have been working on this 4 challenge card for the past 2 hours!! I kept forgetting what each challenge was and had to redo a few things...hope I got it right!!!
This is for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Mairlynn picked out a beautiful cardinal teapot for us to find inspiration from. She also wanted us to create something we were thankful for...I am thankful for the reason we celebrate Christmas and for all God's creations.
This is also for the DDC challenge hosted the Sweet Miss Anne (Itsapassion) to use a button and plaid on our card.
I used the Moonlight Madness sketch and also made a masterboard of the plaid background as required by the Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential challenge.
The Rubbernecker Christmas tree and Cardinal images were colored with copics and a Martha Stewart punch was used for the ferns. The Prima poinsettia and ribbon with twine finished it off. TFL!!!

This is outrageously cute and whimsical, Joan! I love that Christmas tree and your cardinal perched in the corner. Great balance with the poinsettia embellishment in the opposing corner, too.
I have to say you done real good in light of the fact that I told you not to drink so much of that special cider tea at the party today. That's why you cain't keep track of yer challenges. You want some m&ms? Luv, Bertie

I had to laugh when I saw that you kept forgetting what was called for in each challenge! That's why I only combine two at a time. My brain can't do more than that!! You really succeeded, though, and what a pretty card!! My fav part if the cardinal.......beautiful RED!!!
