This card encompasses a couple of challenges this week and will be sent to a fellow teapotter. I used the Nestabilities Label 4 to repeat the corners of this card. I love to add textures, so I added some embossing, only to find it was the dessert option on the color challenge.
I substituted Ballet Blue for Baha Breeze. The birdhouse texture was traced with Creamy Caramel marker and then I watercolored the remaining Caramel.
The digi is from Little Musings, except I removed the post and grass under it.

Welcome to the party! Grab your cup...we won't tell if there is more than tea in it. LOL
Fun card, love the Nestie shape and the image is too cute!
I've started doing a freebie digi image that goes along with the tea party theme each week on my blog. I usually have it up sometime on Saturday before the tea party theme is announced. Cindy let's me know ahead of time (Shh - I'm a cheater). http://happileighscrappin.blogspot.com
What a fabulous image and your layout is perfect. Thanks for sharing such a great creation. And welcome, welcome to the party this week. So great to see you here and I can't wait to see more of what you'll have to share.
