1. I made this card with inspiration from one of my many teapots for a challenge I am hosting on my blog called Teapot Tuesday! You can see just the card close up in my next picture.
2. I figured since we can't all get together in person and have tea in the mid-morning, we might as well make cards together!
3. I have a thing for teapots and as a result have a collection of some really cool ones. This idea started when I made a card for an inspiration challenge where we were to pick something in our house to fashion a card after and of course I picked a teapot. It was a giraffe teapot and the card I made a card I sent it to a fellow SCSer that collects giraffes!
4. I plan on posting a teapot on my blog every Tuesday and making a card inspired by that teapot. There are no rules, no requirements, no deadlines just take a look at the teapot and join me in the fun!

Another masterpiece. Love the holes, and the beautiful way you colored the rose.

Beautifully elegant Cindy! As usual, you captured the detail of this teapot to perfection...the antiquing is so soft around the edges!
I think I have a rose somewhere...this is one I'll try to play with too! THanks for sharing your teapot creations with all of us...
