I am early! Hooray! Come and join us at the teaparty here:http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
Last week we had a sneek peek at this week`s teapot. I knew there would be birds and pink and yellow flowers.It turns out I have arrived at the wrong end of the gardens! On Cindy`s teapot the flowers are roses.
I watercolored the tulips with markers,cut out and attached with pop dots. Birds from spellbinder. I cut two extra birds and cut the end of them to make a second wing on each bird. Added a tiny black half pearl for eyes. First time to use my wonderful bow easy..love it!

Nope, you're not at the wrong end, Shirley. This is a garden of flowers and tulips are everywhere with the gorgeous roses and daffodils and lilies! I love tulips and only wish they lasted longer when in bloom. What patience you had to cut out these lovely flowers and how lucky that you have these adorable Spellbinder birdies! Now....grab your hat and come on over here to smell these beautiful flowers.

I agree with Charlene. There is no wrong end of the gardens. Your tulips are stunning against the kraft background. I love your little birds. That bow is gorgeous!!

Roses, schmoses! Your tulips are ever bit as pretty as a rose and at the Botanical Gardens, who cares? Remember no rules here! Your doves are beautiful and are showcased perfectly against the kraft background. I love their eyes! Why didn't I think of that? Durn it!!!
Whoa! Look over there Shirley! Look at that big ole flower! Yikes! That thing is so big it just might eat one of us! Snort!

I like how you made the wings for the birds - I've often looked at them and thought that much as I like them, they need wings - and you gave them wings.
Hey, loads of tulips in the Botanic Gardens here. They're over now, but I think it's because you came early that you still found some .

What a pretty dove couple! Love your tulips they are so sweet. Great ribbon. Now, did you come in the back door, I don't see any hat. I can let you have mine Shirley, I love to share. Oh, the smell, well that's just Vincent's condo. Want some chocolate.

Who doesn't love tulips especially when they are in a bouquet tied with such a pretty ribbon. But, were you supposed to cut those flowers in the public garden? Oh well, we won't tell and anyway I bet if you just mention Sabrina's name you will be just fine.

Everyone has roses, but tulips, now that is a different story. These are beautiful! Especially with those white doves. Gorgeous card. Glad you made it to the party! TFS :0)

Ah, I love a woman who dares to be different! These are some stunning tulips, my friend. And the birds are perfect ... even better with wings, too!
I've been hearing some buzz about Bow Easy ... now please just quit enabling me, okay?!!! ;-)

I love the bow easy too. What a sweet card you have here. I am so glad you played today. Perfect for images. I personally like tulips better than roses. Tulips are the first thing popping up in spring. Great job.

So glad to see you Shirley!! Your card today is cute and chic and I love your birds...and after sitting the last 2 nights trying to tie a bow, I've decided I really need one of those bow easy's. Wonderful card, so happy we're all here!
