Teapot Solitude

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. ~Author Unknown There is something true about this quote.

I created this card using a card template by Cheeky Radish over a Paper Popsicles. The flower was created from a techinque called "Paper Flower Rosettes" by Tami White. To view the video click here. Love doing the flowers, it was so easy.

With Love - Support Requested

Tiddly Inks is looking for a whole new design team....They are a new and growing group that has cute, fun digital stamps focused on whimsical kids and animals illustrated by Christy Croll. So, I thought, why not give it a try. One of the requirements was to make a card using this image. Here is what I came up with.

On March 31st, they will post a gallery (on their website or on Paper Craft Planet...not sure yet) using the pictures of qualified candidates and the community will vote between March 31 and April 10.

So, I'm asking for all my friends who follow my blog to go over on March 31st and vote.
