I made this card for my sMIL. I kind of feel like something's missing so if you have any ideas please feel free to share! However, the paper and stamp are so pretty I wanted to try and let them take centre stage.
You can't really see it, but the teapot is stamped over a stamped-off weathered bg image.
Thanks for looking!

That background is gorgeous. I like your layout very much, but if you're looking for something to add, I think maybe if you put one more mat in the same color as your blue, behind the teapot, before the striped paper it would help make the pot pop! Even without changes, great job!

I like the colors and the images. In order to add what you think you are missing, you might consider adding a base line under the teapot. It seems to be floating in space. If you add a 'table' line, it will anchor it. You could do it with a real light watercolor line and add a shadow as well.
