This card is for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge. To be inspired by her teapot and awesome card seen here: Happy Teapot Tuesday #20 by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
Well Cindy noted in her story that this is a Mary Englebrecht teapot...and so I knew I had the perfect image! I took it out and colored it with my Copic markers....what's that? You think it looks familiar? You saw it in the dollar bin at Michael's? Hahahaha....just kidding, it really is a MAGNET from the dollar bin at Michael's in the center...but I did do the rest...hope you believe me now, hee!
The background is the denim SU bg and checkerboard bg at the top. To make the polka dots, I dipped a new pencil eraser into chocolate chip pigment ink, and stamped it (that's a Kittie trick, hee!)....and then instead of a row of flowers at the top, I turned my into holly!
Thanks Cindy and Happy 20th Tea Party! I can't believe it....but I will put 20 more tea parties on my wish list to Santa...though as you can see, I have NOT been a very good girl this year!!!!!

Until you fessed up to not coloring the image - your ink list was not long enough to cover all the colors in the main image - you almost should have been added to your own naughtly list. See how smart this old lady is!!!! I am now keeping track to make sure you stay in line young lady.
Your card is very pretty. The magnet was a geat idea. tfs.
