Tuesday Teapotters - A Beary Tea Party

Another Tuesday another teapot party.  This week we are going to FL for MaryLou who has been battling numerous medical conditions and it has made everyday life difficult for her.  MaryLou loves bears and the colors blue and purple.  I didn't have a bear dressed in fancy teaparty clothes, all my bears like to be bare..hahaha.  Here the inspiration teapot:

Here's MaryLou's card:

I used the soon to be retired line from MFT stamp line, Fred Bear and the Pinwheel stamp.  Fred was first colored with watercolor pencils.  Since I didn't want smooth fur, I used regular colored pencils to make the fur a little shaggy.  The pinwheel is also from MFT die-namics.  I hope this card will bring a smile on MaryLou's face.

After I was done with my card and happy with it, I let the husband give his approval, like all my projects.  He informed me that I should have used a cinnamon stick for the pinwheel handle.  You know what, he was right, but too late now.

I'll  also be entering this card in the Chocolate, Coffee & Card Challenge, because they are looking for stripes.  I do believe I have some stripes going on in this card.
