Obviously, I made this card for today's sketch challenge, but also for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge. If you have a minute to check it out or want to play, go to her blog here for the deets: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
Cindy went all elegant on us this week, and we actually are getting the red carpet treatment and get to enter through the front door with our white gloves and bling bling! Woo-hoo! It's gonna be a rootin-tootin' classy shindig! LOL!
I was very drawn to the colors in the beautiful teapot she was given and drew my inspiration from that. I saw a blend of copper and gold in it, but chose to use the copper to emboss my flowers and then color them with Copic markers. There is also just a hint of pink in the teapot and that's why I chose the pale pink for the half circle sentiment tab.
TFL and come on over to the party!

I am so glad that this party is getting your classy presence. Love the way you colored your flowers Charlene. Very pretty. They look so wonderful with the embossing you did. The scalloped corners are perfect for this layout. Great job on these challenges. So glad you joined the party.
