For today's Tea party challenge. We are helping Bodacious, a bull, decorate the love of his life, Belassiz's villa. What? You are confused? Check out the challenge for great fun.
Bodacious was exhausted from all the decorating decisions and so he took a walk in the villa gardens. When he saw this perfect bloom with the morning dew and the visiting butterfly he immediately had his personal photographer take a picture. Then he had it matted on the lined creme paper and wrote in his most delicate hand the word Iris. The photo was then presented to Belassiz before being hung in the place of honor in the entry.

Hey Marilynn, psst...come over here! Hey, I gotta tell you! That Bodacious, you know....the big ole bull that is so rough and tough and macho and mean...the one that no cowboys can stick to? Well, he might look like a mean one, act the part, do the buckin' but did you see is handwriting? He's a wimp! Writes like a girl.....Wanna make some money? WE will blackmail him...tell him to pay up before Belassiz finds out he's a sissy writer!!!
But, the photograph is simply awesome. Beautiful little card! Love how you did the ribbon!

What a beautiful photo Bo's personal photographer took. However did he capture that sparkle and shimmer - I know how hard that is to do. What a beautiful, elegant card. Love the way you did the ribbon.
