1. Not alot of color to this teapot! But is sorta fun! I kept wanting to add stuff to my card. I don't know, ribbon or something. But the teapot is plain so I settled for adding that little honey comb flower thingy in the top right hand corner! Hee!
2. Guess what? See all of those individual octogon honey comb shaped thingys? They are all popped up and I hand cut them all out by hand! Yep, each and every one!
3. Ha! Ha! Made ya listen!!! Just joshing. I really used an octogon punch that a friend gave me! I had forgotten all about that punch until I started looking closer at this teapot to feature this week! Once I remembered I had this punch, this card was a piece of cake! Hee!
If you would like to join me at the teaparty you can get all of the details and see the rest of the Teapot Tuesday cards by visiting my blog:

Simply "Tea-lightful"
Love your watermark ~ but I'm here to talk about your card. I love how you used your teapot for your inspiration - and how much your card displays the simplicity of the teapot design. Perfect!

Teapot Tuesday is my new favorite day! Hand-cut or punched, it was still a lot of work to line up the octagons and the hardest work of all was stopping when there was just enough on the card. You were equal to the task. What time is tea?
