This week's Teapot Tuesday cards are going to Kay in Winnipeg, Manitob, Canada. She is the soon to be 91 year old grandmother of fellow SCSer and Teapotter crystaldolphins - Charlene. She's been dealing with some difficult health issues since she fell on the ice last February and broke her elbow, so we're sending her some cheer and lots of tulips. If you would like to join us and play along you can learn more about it here.
Stamped the PSX tulips stamp, colored with Copics and colored the background and made a table using Copics so it would look like a still life painting. Cut out a frame, drew the fake stained glass and colored with Copics and glued on top of tulips.
Thanks for looking.

That bouquet of tulips couldn't possibly look any more realistic if it was sitting in the cooler at the florist's shop! Your coloring and shading are magnificent, and your still life scene is worthy of framing! Love the colors of your stained glass with the sunlight filtering through and the deep, rich tones of your wooden table! Amazing card Sue!
