Somehow though, I am not quite happy with mine. I think I am having a stampers funk!! Oh dear and it's coming out in my dreary looking card!! I usually use a lot of colours - but what happened here???
Oh well -
used crystal effects on the teapot and and the cup. coloured the teapot and teacup with garnet twinkling H20's - the rest gamsol magic
The bit of bling that I added to the corners cheered me up a little. Actually - my dad passed away of cancer April 11 last year. I'm afraid my bit of a funk has transferred over to my card!!
Maybe if I make a colourful card like I usually do - my funk will disappear... I'll try!
Thanks for looking!

I think this is a great card! All of your cards are beautiful.
I like the red and black together!!!The ribbon is a perfect addition as well as the paper piercing and bling.
I'm sure your "funk" will pass. I'm sure your Dad is looking down on you and seeing the beautiful work you do.

No funk here, Debi! A great clean, crisp and lovely card. Cutie pawtootie image and terrific coloring. Love that ribbon too.

Deb, this card is soooooooo precious! Your Gruffie is so adorable and the coloring on your teapot with the CE makes it look so real! Personally, I love the colors you used with all the polkadots and black gingham ribbon.
I'm sorry you lost your dad; that would put me in a funk, too. You are such a sweetie and always find such positive things to say. I'm hoping you're feeling much better today!

So sorry to hear of your dad's passing one year ago and sometimes it helps if you remember the good times. Your card is great and not at all dreary. (((HUGS))) to you!

Your card is adorable.. The red really brightens it up... So sorry about your lose and missing your dad... but always remember that you are a part of him and your children are a part of him so he is still around maybe not in the flesh but his memories will be with you today, tomorrow and always...

Oh now this is a really easy card to leave another card on: I know for a fact, this is definitely a winner, hands down. If you dont believe me, go check out my gallery and there you'll see it. Wow, was I ever lucky to get you to give this one up.
