Here is my card for Teapot Tuesday. The challenge is to make a soothing sympathy or thinking of you card. I love the colour of the teapot and immediately thought of this embossed paper that I've had for ages but is so hard to match up with anything. I got my tickler card from Shirley (shirlb19) yesterday and it is a gorgeous CAS card that I just love. I've attempted to do something similar and hope Shirley is of the opinion that "imitation is the best form of flattery". Check out Shirley's card in the gallery for MMTPT788. Hers is a real beauty.

I remember her card....a good one to CASE. I love your embossed bg in such a subtle and pretty shade of green. And those flowers are lovely and work well for a sympathy card.

Beautiful soft and definitely soothing colors. I think you matched that wonderful embossed paper with the perfect color/images. This lilies are fabulous and this layout shows off both those lovely florals as well as that lovely dp. Great card.
Checked out Shirl's card as well and it is a beauty too.

Simply beautiful! I love the soft colors, and those lovely images of the lilies. The twine is a sweet touch, as is that bitty tag.
