The theme for today's Waltz is all about 4th of July/Americana. Frankly, I'm a little nervous as I have no idea what to do. All I know of the 4th of July are stars & stripes and fireworks.. errr. Hmmm...well, I suppose celebration also equals a tea party! So, that's what my card is - a 4th of July themed tea party invitation.
I did a little paper piecing, colouring, and a frame using baker's twine. To add a little interest, I added a couple of cute stars (can't forget to have stars!) at the bottom corner. I hope I did ok.

Love your patriotic tea party Kary! The paper pieced teapot is so cute with the stars!

It's lovely, Kary! What a perfectly independent tea-pot, hi hi! Love the stars!
Wishing you a wonderful day (evening?)

WOW!! LOVE your take on the theme!!! Such a perfect Americana card! So cool!
I love this Kary...I'm not sure if it was intended, but I love the connection to the "Tea Party" and the patriotic theme of the card. It turned out wonderfully. Very creative design!
Absolutely FABULOUS card! So cute!
I love the baker's twine frame! How did you do that? Did you punch holes?
Wow, love the use of the tea set! The twine is so fun as well! :)

Wonderful! Love love this card! :)
Very cute Americana themed tea party invite. Love all the elements you've included in it.
Kary your card is so unique and CHARMING! I love how you incorporated the theme on this teapot card! Love the embellies, too!
Well done Kary - I think I would be at a loss too - did you know that an important part of the USA history involves the Boston Tea Party?
Blessings

I think tea parties are just another wonderful reason to celebrate anything really. Very creative idea...just love it.

You did more than okay, Kary, you did fabulously! Pretty card. Love the paper piecing and the twine frame is brilliant.
