This week is Tickle a Teapotter week, how fun! We do an exchange of our cards with another Teapotter, the recipient not knowing who the card will be from until it arrives.
Our cards this week are based on the story Faith did, about how the Mudder's garden is full of teapots of every shape, size , and color. No flowers, just teapots. So our mission is to bring the flowers, butterflies and bees. No slugs or snails, please.
I decided to do a hanging garden. At first I was going to try and fit 200 flowers into the scene to mark the 200th Teapot challenge. No luck with that, but there's a lot of flowers here. I just realized that I forgot the bees and butterflies, so just maybe, there will be some thing like that added to my hanging garden.
The plant hangers are corner dies from the Cheery Lynn Deco corner set. The pots that you cannot see are little squares that I punched two corners with a MS corner punch. Too bad they can't be seen, they turned out to be good pots. I used a Cheery Lynn flourish for the vines and a small leaf punch. The red flowers are from flower punch, the white are from a star punch, and the blue a circle punch. All shaped with a stylus on a mouse pad with a drop of Stickles or Pearl pen added for the centers.
To make the hanging part, I used twine and beading crimps. All of this was put onto a bg that was embossed with the brick wall ef.

Just beautiful! Love all of those tiny flowers, it must have taken you hours to do all of that gluing!!! And I love how you shaped them, I need to remember that trick next time I make little flowers.

Mudder may have to fight for this beauty. Love how you made the wall hangers and all of the beautiful flowers. Wow! that is a lot of work. Such an improvement over 42,000 teapots. Gorgeous! Thanks for playing along.

I always look forward to seeing your creations and this one is a real beauty. I bet after a few more weeks of the growing season there will be even more than two hundred flowers.

Someone has too much time on their hands! A lot of energy and patience went into this card. But it was worth your energy for us that can just look at it.
LOVE
Mom
