Teapot Tuesday and Card Positioning Systems #211

Good morning!  I have a card to share this morning that I made for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge (MMTPT139) on Splitcoast. You can read all about the challenge here.  This week's Destination Station is Mt. Vernon, Indiana.  We are sending our cards (and if possible, some extra stamping supplies) to Ashley, an avid stamper and cardmaker, who lost most of her stamping/scrapbooking supplies when her family's home was flooded recently.  You can read about Ashley's story here.  Despite her own losses, Ashley has been helping out other flood victims in her community.  Hopefully our cards will bring Ashley a smile and she'll also get some much needed supplies to help her build back her crafting stash.

Here is a photo of the inspiration teapot:

I used Card Positioning Systems Sketch #211 for my layout.  Here is the sketch:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I shamelessly cased this fabulous card from my friend, Dawn, because I knew this fun Diva from Mo's Digital Pencil would be perfect for the Teapot challenge.  Please don't compare our coloring because Dawn's is awesome - mine, not so much - lol!  I used some dotted DP from the Memory Box Snow & Cedar pad and layered it on SU Pink Pirouette.  I colored the image with Copic markers, then added White Opal Liquid Pearls to her necklace, earrings and crown.  I added Polar White Flower Soft to her feather boa.  A big pink satin bow finished it.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Have a great day!

StampTV Sketch Challenge and Teapot Tuesday

Wow!  It's been a busy week so far!  I haven't had much time for card-making, but I did manage to make a card for two challenges.  First, it was for this week's StampTV Sketch Spotlight Challenge (STVSKSP7).  It was also for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.  You can find all the details of this week's teapot challenge right here.  This week our Destination Staion was Cody, Wyoming where we are celebrating the birth of a new baby boy to one of our fellow teapotters, JamiePTS (and the new grandma, Jamie's MIL, Pat Smethers).  Check out the details of the baby card "shower" we are throwing for Jamie here.

Here is this week's StampTV Sketch from Gina K:

Here is my card:

I kept my design pretty simple and a little non-traditional, I think, for a baby card.  I used the adorable teddy bear from the Gina K. Designs set, First Christmas.  I colored him with Copic markers and then paper-pieced his scarf and stocking cap.  I added Liquid Applique to the trim of the hat and puffed it with a heat tool to look like fur.  The sentiment tag was cut with one of the Spellbinders Fancy Tags and layered with a Petite Ovals Nestabilities.  The Sweet Baby sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Spring Mix set and the tag sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Fanciful Tags.  My card base is GKD Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown and the DP is from the Webster's Pages Lullaby Lane Petite Papers pack.  I added 3 light aqua pearls to finish it.
