Here is my card for todays tea potter tickle challenge = we get to tickle each other this month -CHALLENGE TRANSLATION: Bring dice, dominoes, playing cards, Scrabble , Monopoly, Yahtzee and Checkers.
But don't toss in horseshoes or you'll be tossed out in the storm!
This is also for this weeks colour challenge - soft sky, blushing bride and crumb cake.
I stamped the teapot border onto kraft paper - I used blush blossom ink. coloured bits of the teapots with copic markers. Stamped over top with sanded backgrounder with blush blossom ink. Cut out the scrabble letters from dp I bought at Michaels awhile back. Sponged edges. Created the words - fabulous, friends, ships, teapotter, rocks... ... I had the image of the two ladies already coloured - probably coloured them about 5-7 years ago... Stamped a coloured 4 extra teapots and coloured them. Assembled the card. Matted with blue card stock. Sewed around edges....
PS - the girls are drinking "Ice tea"
I hope this card will put a smile on the tea potter recipient.
Hugs..Pat

Terrific card! Lot going on but not too much...sounds like a lot of work. The BG DP is subtle and perfect. The pots tie in with the umbrella....yep. It's really good!
