1. Isn't this the coolest teapot? It was a gift from Lorraine, a friend and fellow blogger/SCSer. Lorraine (pidgesmom) sent me this teapot back in December. I was thrilled with it and knew it would be so fun to feature in my teapot challenge! It's sorta on the small side with a really cool and unique shape! It rocks! Lorraine has participated in almost all of my teapot challenges with wonderful creative cards every week!
2. The background to this card is several layers of strips of paper. Not sure if you can see it but there is a cut out circle behind the holly leaves which was supposed to imitate the round lid on the teapot. Oh well, my ideas don't always work out!
3. When I was putting the last layer of strips of paper I got frustrated trying to glue little tiny strips of paper on my card so I scrapped that idea and just wrapped jute (I think that's what it's called) around the card to top off the layers. Then I weaved the bottom half of my little teapot through the layers of twine. This card is very card-boardy looking which is sorta cool for a change! Thank you Lorraine for your awesome gift, your friendship, generousity, creativity and talent! I appreciate you sharing all those things with me.

Another perfect card re-creation of a teapot! Impressive. You even nailed the coloring of the cardinal and it isn't like we see them everyday, or any day for that matter, here in Colorado.

My comment disappeared so I'll try it again! So, that texture plate is the coolest and so perfect for your teapot! I had said that you probably bought the teapot to match your texture plate, but I see it was a gift...whatever! You know I'm kidding!!!

I am sorry I never thought of fudge. The pot did remind me of chocolate frosting dusted with sugar. DH thinks I should pass on the Christmas fudge because it took me 3 lots to get it right last Christmas, but I could nip home and run up a quick chocolate roulade.
