This is Tickle a Teapotter week, yippee!! The week where we do a random exchange with a fellow Teapotter!
Since I have been very ill, I had the time to do a paper embroidery card. Don't look too closely, you can see where my stitches weren't very good, I was in a lot of pain then.
This is pretty darn close to the featured Teapot this week.
The holly and berries were just one pattern that I used 3 times. It's meant to be colored in when done. The little mouse is from a separate pattern. I used chalks for the coloring part. Merry Christmas is from a CLD die. The green bg is embossed with a Sizzix ef.
I hope that whoever gets this tickle will enjoy the little scene.

A christms scene no less. I haven't even thought about christmas cards yet. I have to get past the fall and halloween stuff. This pattern reminded me of the fall leaf pattern that I think is in the same book, that I had the ladies do for homework. But that was back when I had only 4/5 ladies.

The stitching looks great to me - and I love the little bead nose!! I'm sorry that you've been unwell and in pain. We've had a busy summer here with my MIL in hospital, so I feel really out of the loop as far as keeping up with people goes. I hope you're on the way to being better now.
wow I have never seen paper embroidery before. Looks like a lot of time and effort went into creating this. I love the little mousey. I hope you feel better.

I hope you feel better soon!! I can't believe what details you put in your card feeling ill. I love the stitching and embroidery work you did on this card. The mouse is cute.
