*Bee*pot Tuesday Challenge

This card is for today's Teapot Tuesday challenge (MMTPT59). My little bee was afraid his wing strength wouldn't get him all the way to California to meet up with the others, so he enlisted the help of this polka dotted balloon. I've told him that it is very important for a bee to work out regularly in order to have the necessary stamina for emergency situations such as these. He told me to buzz off as he floated away. I mean really, the nerve of some bees!
I used the out-of-the-box technique on the image (only I used a circle). I paper-pieced the bee's belly witht he same paper as the background. The center circle started out white, but I blinked once and this is what happened :) Seems to happen to me a lot when I get in the Copic zone...

Teapot Tuesday on Wednesday

This card is for today's SCS sketch challenge (#240) and yesterday's Teapot Tuesday challenge from MotherMark, which was to take inspiration from a cow shaped teapot. The card base and center circle is a frosted card blank from ShortCuts.

Now apparently this whole cow thing is very serious situation. It seems that all of the cows are in a contest to become the next California Cow. Now, had I known this was a beauty contest, I would have dressed Patsy (named after my Aunt and not because she is big boned, but because she is awfully fond of moo-moos-HA!) up in her finest. She has this little sequined number that really shows off the udders if you know what I mean. I have to go now-- we have got to practice Patsy's baton routine for the talent portion of the contest....and if I have totally confused you, check out Mothermark's glob :)
