Obviously, I made this card for today's sketch challenge, but also for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge. If you have a minute to check it out or want to play, go to her blog here for the deets: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
Cindy went all elegant on us this week, and we actually are getting the red carpet treatment and get to enter through the front door with our white gloves and bling bling! Woo-hoo! It's gonna be a rootin-tootin' classy shindig! LOL!
I was very drawn to the colors in the beautiful teapot she was given and drew my inspiration from that. I saw a blend of copper and gold in it, but chose to use the copper to emboss my flowers and then color them with Copic markers. There is also just a hint of pink in the teapot and that's why I chose the pale pink for the half circle sentiment tab.
TFL and come on over to the party!

OMGoodness! Charlene, this is just beautiful. Love, love the color combo. WOW
I don't usually look at the gallery b/f I do my card, but the grandkids are here today, so no time to stamp - yet. I'm so glad I got to see this beauty early.

Whoo Hoo! Bertie is here! Rut Roh! We ate all the M & M's! No matter, I will send the body quards out for some more just as soon as they break up the fight in the corner!
Charlene! So glad you could come and bring this elegant wonderful little fancy schmancy card! I can see the teapot inspiration peeking out of the flowers! Your coloring and shading just gets better and better and better!
I am happy you are here as I might need some help getting these star stuck tea potters out of the faces of the famous people! Charlene! Where did she go? Charlene! Quit drooling over Johnny Depp and get back over her! You are embarrassing me! Snort!
Thanks for coming girlfriend! Thanks for the link and by the way, that sketch is AWESOME! Big hugs.....
