I saw the CC Monday night and loved the colors, but didn't have time to make a card. By the time I got around to making the card Wednesday night, I also saw the MMTPT challenge and the WT challenge and put them all into this card. The teapotters are bringing things for the farmers' market. I often mention that my cooking ability is limited to opening boxes and cans. With my lack of cooking skills, I might have sent a lot of people to the hospital if I cooked something. I played it safe and decided to bring some home made cards. Lisa had a fun WT challenge to use sequines. If I dig deep enough, I can find almost anything in the coat closet where I keep my craft stuff. Sequins are just what this card needed and I would never have thought if it. The center image is a combination of 4 different stamps and a little doodling. First there is a frame stamp. Then I used the SU happy hello stamp. The face and the flower are 2 little stamps that I found when I was packing up my sister's stuff... most of which I need to try to sell on Craig's list. The black and white stripped lines and the diamond pattern are doodled. The bg is dylusione spreys splattered with water. TFL, Francie

Cool card..love that stamp (is it just one?) and the way you framed everything with the fab red and green and the b/w dots! And your use of sequins in the corners is very creative!

The polka dots on the rim of the card looks fantastic, as does your collage. I like how the brightness of the background is tempered with the piece layered on top. Fabulous card!

LOVE this! Can't wait to see the details of how you created this fabulous card! I'm going to be green if you drew that image!
ETA: now that you added the description I can say I'm still green! What an awesome way to create the focal image - you are so creative! Plus you doodle better than anybody!
