Phew, I have finally made it for MotherMark's Teapot Tuesday - I would have hated to miss this party - it is always such a fine affair! I have had some challenges getting here...the first being I was pinned beneath the mountain of cards that have come from the fabulous SCS stampers for the Australian Bush Fire Survivors and finally managed to get out from under them and box them up, until the next lot come in...
THEN....I decided I would bring a few things with me, just to help out Cindy, as I know her Tea Partys are getting more and more popular..so I went into my girls' room to get Maddy's gorgeous little china teaset, only to find that it looked like the bumble bees and rabbits had been in there par-tay-ing from all that time ago..ahhh!! I managed to climb though 'Mount Washing' and grab a couple of cups and saucers, without injuring myself and then thought I would bring my dear little mustard pot to show you Cindy - how gorgeous is it...looks so like a teapot - DH and I were given it as a Wedding present by a lovely old gentleman in the Nursing Home we worked at until we got married - it is very special to me!!
Finally...I wanted to bring some 'YUMBLY' choccies to the party....and there they all are...the chocolates are sugar free, which is good for me...BUT they are also flavour free as they are candles..LOL...I hope I don't see any teeth marks in them after this fine affair Cindy..
So there you have it...101 reasons why I am late...aww...rats, I forgot to being the coffee...
Thanks for looking...I hope you like it...I love to read your comments, thank you!!

Ah! Linda, how I love this card, I love the setting of course, the teacups and teapot and you got me fooled with that gorgeous looking "chocolate". Awesome flowers on the card, and Cindy is very good with cardmaking, but her cooking skills worry me...well in the desert area anyway...whipped cream on tea!!! Maybe she's expecting or something. LOL

I love the flowers and the gems that you used. The colours that you have chosen with the swirls and the inked edges look terrific. Thank you for sharing.

Love those flowers with the gem centres, they are just great.
And that little Welsh mustard pot is sweet - not that I'd have realised it was a mustard pot, so I am glad you told us. Whew, noticed the chocs were candles before I tried one.

This is a pretty card. I like the flower centers! I will blame you, of course, for any chocolate I succumb to today. I have never heard of a mustard pot! What language is on it and what does it say?
