*Sorry for the dark/blurry photo, and the card ends at the dot border, the stripes behind are from my table runner LOL*
With a name like DottyTeapot, it was inevitable that for my first ever challenge I would end up joining Teapot Tuesday...there is nothing quite like a teaparty! Especially a teaparty to spread special birthday cheer to a lovely lady, Elsie.
Elsie is a dear friend of Sharon (smadson) who needed extra birthday cheer after an extremely sad year. You can read Elsie's story, and find out about our challenge here:
This challenge was, well, quite the challenge for me! I am a stamping newbie, with four ink pads and four sets of stamps! However, I managed to incorparate Elsie's favourite things, and will be sending it off to Elsie filled with love and birthday cheer.
Thank you for looking
