My first card was very glittery and sparkly, although you really couldn't tell it from the photo. I don't have a photographer Cindy, so I have to blame myself. I decided to make a more back to country kinda looking card. One of my challenges was that I didn't have any orange cardstock. I looked on my desk and saw a kinda light orange mailing envelope. My scalloped tan piece was a file folder, and the little yellow flowers were once part of a yellow legal pad of paper. It is hard to see, but I stamped Bitty Background circles with white craft ink. You have to move it to catch the light on them, but they are there. I felt bad about running out of room for the leaves on my last card, so I made sure I left room this time. The leaves are from the thank you stamp from the Fabulous Four. I used a punch around the leaves, because I was lazy and didn't want to cut them out. The only other stamping was the flowers. The pumpkins were pieced, the leaves were cut free hand and crimped. The tendrils were quilled. I added piercing, a ribbon and white brads to finish off the card. Let me know what you think. (Cindy, I have been to all the teaparties except the very first one!)

OMG! After reading your description it becomes quite evident you are the Queen of Compromising! You always come up with amazing cards when you don't have what you need at your fingertips! I love your *lazy leaves*...I don't think they would be as cool if you had cut them out, they remind me of the white polka dots on the teapot and they are there!! Its a great card!
I also love the *picket fence* background here....How fun you made another card! Thanks so much for the links! I knew you were a regular at my tea party....no worries about that first one....the first one is never as much fun anyway! Hee!
