Off to Seattle With the Teapotters!!!

Good morning everyone...what a great day to be stamping!!!! The Color Challenge colors on Splitcoast today are gorgeous; Rich razzleberry, Baja Breeze, and So Saffron...I actually had all the colors and a piece of grid paper for the dessert option, too...Woot!!! This is also for da Mudder's Teapot Tuesday challenge. It seems we are off to Seattle to see Duke the spotless Dalmation. He was hired by the fire department but promised the chief he would have spots in 2 weeks. So it's up to the teapotters to save the day...we are to take lots of polka dots to the party for old Duke!!

I am also taking a picnic basket full of flowers and food...stampers can't live on polka dots alone!!! The images are from Clear Dollar Stamps Picnic Time set...colored with copics, and popped up on dimensionals. I also used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge found on her blog, Lord have Mercy.

I made this card yesterday for the Technique Lovers Challenge on Splitcoast to make flowers without a flower punch or die and the CAS challenge to be inspired by the wonderful Cake Designer:Carrie's Cakes. It seems like when I combine challenges I make a bigger mess...what's up with that??? Anyway...I made my flowers with the round scalloped punch and tissue paper. The punch didn't cut the tissue paper very well but since I was smashing the paper anyway, it didn't really matter.

My inspiration cake for the CAS Challenge was the gorgeous Melody (in Chocolate) cake # 548. It was sooo pretty with the chocolate frosting and the light and dark pink flowers on the top and down the side. The flourishes and sentiment from Rubbernecker were stamped with Versamark, embossed with white ep, and colored with pink chalk. The ribbon and rhinestone brads in the flower centers were the only embellishments. I really tried to keep this CAS!!!
