Now Mothermark is having her usual Teapot Tuesday extravaganza...but this week Sumo Wrestlers are involved! They are so big and strong and scary...and since their butts are always on display, they have been ordered to only come to the party through the back door. So I decided to make a card sans butt so I can rush in the front door, grab my green tea, and then HIGH TAIL it outta there if you know what I mean (I am only 5 foot 3 and have size 6 feet...I could get squashed!).
I chose to be inspired mostly by the beautiful elements...I thought the sentiment sounded very Chinese/Japanese proverb-like, very wise! I also liked the little blue flower thingies, the pink and blue color scheme, the blue branches...but I did use some Liquid Pearls and my cuttlebug for dimension...since the teapot has some, ummm, errr, dimension in the mid-area.
If you are too skeeered to play this week, make sure you come to the party next week...Mothermark is celebrating Teapot Tuesday #52 which means a YEAR of teapots!

I love the sentiment on this card. I so enjoyed sharing a cup of tea with my mom when she was living. Pretty card and welcome in the front door. I don't blame you for not staying - those sumos probably weigh 10 times more than you.

Beautiful card Kelly! Love the inspiration you used. You are a cautious one this week, I can understand why! I just backed in there with my jeep and dumped all the sushi I could. LOL
Then I could sit down and enjoy a cup'a tea...hick...well, it tasted like it. LOL

Hey, squirt! Wassa the big idea of tellin' everyone Big Butt Bertie was passin' out the sake? It twern't Bertie. It twer Michio.
Also, don't ya know ya shouldn't tell tall tales, even if ya are at a sake-drinkin', sushi-flingin', sumo-wrestlin' tea party? I heard you wuz there until the lights went out! I mean, ya musta been with this huge ol' mug filled mostly with sake and a pinch of green tea, tryin' ta tell everyone you wuz their friend. I got yer number. Giggle!
Okay. Here's Charlene talking now. Love your sweet and pretty card, Kelly. Sweet, just like you! Pssst! Bertie told me she luvs the fact that she's still on the naughty list!

Your card is so nice, Kelly! Love the tea cup and sentiment! You can definitely go through the front door with this beauty! I agree that things were a little scary this week what with the food flinging and sumo wrestlers and sake spiked tea! Luckily, it looks like we all escaped unscathed, all ready for the big celebration of a year of teapots next weekk!

Kelly, I cannot believe, that you of all people, with your tremendous sence of humor, did not capitalize on the 'butt' to make a behind card. I do love the card you made though. I just love that sentiment. Love it.
