This is my card for IC543. Audrie took us to the Wayfair site for our inspiration. Lots of beautiful things there for your home.
I found this Anabelle teapot and I knew I had just the right dsp to create my card. I am still making Mother's Day cards so this worked well for me.
For the teapot, I used the Stampin'-Up "everyday enchantment" collection and the cups & kettle framelits. Cut it several times to change the handle, spout and lid colors.
I also used the pleated skirt fold technique for the card bottom. I tried this the other day for the first time and I just love the feminine appeal it gives to your card. Here is a link to the tutorial found here on Splitcoaststampers. I added some poppy red ribbon and bow. Die cut the hearts from the same SU framelits and stamped my Mother's Day sentiment to complete my card.

Mary, you certainly captured the Annabelle teapot on your card and created a wonderful scene around it with your pleated tablecloth and "heart" steam coming from the teapot. A lovely and charming Mother's day card.
