Polly is our hostess for the Teapot Tuesday challenge this week - you can find the challenge and learn why we are sending our cards to Melanie HERE.
I decided to bring a doily - and a teacup full of flowers to cheer.
Studio Katia image stamped on Bristol and coloured with Polychromos pencils, Enamel Accents on the berries. I cut the doily and background from an old LOTV pad, which I also used for the background layer. I think I stamped the green script myself, but now I can't remember what I used. I stitched all round the edges before adding it to the base. Added the doily and image with a torn edge. ODBD sentiment stamped and embossed in black on a scrap of old DP, and trimmed to fit the Spellbinders label. It still looked a bit bare (I don't usually make cards this size, but it was the only way I could fit the cup and the doily), so I added some more Enamel Accents dots.

Such fun details on this card. I know Melanie will enjoy receiving a card from you. I will hopefully some day get to see it in person! I've heard international mail is slower than snail mail these days. Very thoughtful of you to mail it to Melanie. Thanks.

This is such a lovely teaparty card for our special tea for Meanie. It's fun to see all the different ways everyone is using that image. Love the doily and the stitching.

Love the colors that go from soft & subdued in the bg to bright and joyous in the flowers. The addition of the bg script and bit of music score on some of the papers adds so much extra interest.

This spotted teacup filled with glorious flowers brought a huge smile to my face so I know it will do the same for Melanie. What a pretty card this is Sabrina with the soft vintage paper you used and stitched on and this wonderful doily too. The sentiment will be especially meaningful to Melanie. ~Karen.

I love how you brought all the individual elements together to create such a special collage. Sabrina, your attention to detail is always perfect. The stitching is the icing on the cake!
