First off, this is not my card for Teapot Tuesday. Okay it is my card, but not the REAL one. Since I had put a frame around this lovely hat, which by the way is being released at Rubbernecker Stamps today, I am including it in the Teapot Tuesday challenge. hehe Say, check out all the new stamps at Rubbernecker, okay.
That all said, here are the deets to my card...stamped the flower hat image using Hero Arts White ink on dark gray AC cs. Coloring was done with prisma pencils no gamsol adding some clear stardust on the spots.
Cut out a oval frame using a coluzzle, Zentangled it and sponged the inside edge with Distress Ink tea dye. Popped it up over the flower hat image. Added some tiny pearls to the corners, done.
Well, this is number one card with a frame for MMTPT. Now I am off to try to get Curt ready for a photo. hehe.....later dudes!....TFL :0)

This is beautiful, Cathy!! I love your Zentangled frame and the sweet hat! Curt has got to be hiding under it! You do funny very well and you do serious very well!! I like both aspects! Looking forward to seeing what Curt has up his hooves!

That's some fiddly zentangle. I went nearly mad when I tried one of these and felt like I was stuck in a maze. It's very effective, now I'm off to visit Curt. Elizabeth

Great idea to zentangle the frame - I have watched several segments of that technique on Scrapbook Memories - but have yet to try it. I know mine would not turn out! You have a great card.
