For this week's Teapot Tuesday, we're bringing things to sell at the Kneesaknockin Farmer's Market. I will bring some lovely heirloom tomatoes (yummy yellow and orange), potted plants and Indian corn.
This is also for this week's technique challenge -- screen divider cards. I've never made one before, but every single one I saw in the gallery was awesome, and I had to try. I have very few border punches to choose from, so even though I liked the look of the punched holes extending down the screen, I used this. It has a sort of bird-shaped element that I thought fit with the nature theme. For the legs, I used a nestie that's basically a rectangle with notched edges; much simpler than the fancy label punches but serviceable.
From left, the tomatoes are I-O image colored in pencils, the oval has a Chapel Hill image that says "every leaf is a miracle"; the sunflower is a tiny set that might be Studio G; the corn is I-O, and the sentiment is pieced from a happy birthday and Fall from a definition set (that lalst one is Purple Onion).

Sandy, this turned out beautifully, what a treat for a Teapotter. I'm sure I used some Spellbinders label for the base the first time I made one, I think many of them are perfectly suitable. Your one reminds me of the closet I had in my bedroom when I was a child. I think the punched border at the top looks great too, and I love the sunflower especially.

Your screen card turned out great Sandy! I love heirloom tomaotes and have a couple of plants (they're cherry variety as my yard is small)...I'm getting a bumper crop! Love all your Fall images.

I agree with the others, your screen card turned out wonderfully....way to go. I have done just a couple , but they are fun aren't they? Love your fall items to see at the fall fair in Sask. Oh home...miss it. Great job on each panel so warm and pretty...TFs..:0)

Have seen also but never made one, when seeing I always think of those room dividers for privacy. Did a great job and love the different items on each screen. Good job
