Teapot Tuesday is here again and this week we are sending sunshine to Mary Jane who is slowly recovering from a stroke. Thank you to Preciouskitty for telling us about Mary Jane.
Our challenge this week is to bring flowers. I love cards with flowers, and I think my favourite dies are rolled roses. Sadly 3D flowers are not suitable for international post, so I had to settle for floral paper.
The DP is from a 6 x 6 pad by My Minds Eye called "Follow your Heart". I have added little Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch flowers. In order to adhere them to the fence I wove a little strip of green metalic paper through the fence and actually glued the flowers to the paper. The "wrought iron" around the sign is really a "gate" die cut in half.
The awning is a Martha Stewart border punch. I added some lace to the inside of the windows - paper curtains have been scored, pleated and inked. It is hard to see in the photo, but there is acetate in the windows. Liquid pearls were used here and there. I also scored the background paper and inked the lines to give it a bit of "depth".
The sign was written with a Micron pen, and of course Mary Jane's florist is not open Tuesdays as all her clients are at the teaparty!!!
Thank you for looking and have a wonderful week everyone.

As always you have so many wonderful little details to delight and enchant. I'm laughing at the shop being closed on Tuesdays - well thought of! I love your fine little fence and the flowers growing along it, and the wonderful shabby chic look of the whole thing.

Hi Susie,
The comment on this card is very late, just saw it on Pinterest - however, I wanted to say how absolutely talented (an patient) you are. You truly are an artist and your work will be treasured.
Hugs,
Rosalia
