Teapot Tuesday

My friend Cindy aka Mothermark collects teapots and she also love doing inspiration challenges. So it wasn't a big surprise when she started blogging over on "This is My Story" that she started doing a weekly challenge called Teapot Tuesday.

Well many years ago before I got the owl bug I also collected teapots ... of course I don't have nearly as many as Cindy does ... but since I started collecting owls I have acquired a few owl teapots.

A while back I emailed Cindy the pics of my owl teapots because she wanted to see them and about two weeks ago the theme for the Teapot Tuesday was using my teapot as inspiration ... how cool is that. Anyway the card above is the card Cindy aka Mothermark created using my teapot as inspiration and when she made it she sent it to me .... yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Here is a pic of my teapot ... don't you think Cindy nailed this one ... her card sooooo looks like my teapot.

When Cindy posts her challenge she normally takes a photo of her card and the teapot together ... well of course not owning the teapot it was a little harder for her to do ... but she did the next best thing and added the photo of my teapot with her card. Well now I have the card ... I can take the photo of them both together hehe!

Thank you Cindy for sending me the card ... it will have a special place of honor in my stamp room.

Gridded Teapot!

My friend Cindy Motherway has started a Teapot Tuesday challenge over on her blog This is My Story. Cindy collect teapots and every week she is selecting a different teapot to use for an inspiration challenge.

Many years ago I used to collect teapots too ... so I have a few here .... not as many as Cindy does ... but I look forward each week to see what teapot Cindy is going to select, one day she might actually select a teapot I own hehe! Although many of the teapots I own are owls .... now why doesn't that surprise any of you LOL!

When I saw Cindy's blue & white teapots I immediately thought of the blue & white teapots with the willow pattern on them which reminded me of this PSX teapot I own ... so of course I had to play.

This card also fits this weeks "Try a New Technique" challenge over on the SCS. Which was to use the grid technique .... I used it on my white background panel .... after creating my grid I then carefully sponged the raised areas using Not Quite Navy SU Ink.
