Lisa is our hostess for this week's It's All About the Plants Teapot Tuesday challenge, with our cards going to a friend of Tropicalsmiles.
I have some flowers (and feathers) in my background which I created using THIS TUTORIAL, one of my favourite background techniques. Then I planted some poppies (sponged some white card with red inks), and added a little hummingbird stamped on a piece of clingwrap background. The little leaves are stamped on a similar background, and I also added some sprigs punched from gold glitter card. Oh, and I added a little shimmer with some little highlights of gilding flakes.
Check out this thread if there's anyone you'd like to nominate as the guest of honour for a tea-party next year.

This is gorgeous and so full of beautiful images...the poppies are bold and bright, the hummingbird so sweet, and the bg has all sorts of interesting and charming delights!

Sometimes a card just speaks to me--this is one of those, Sabrina. Great technique. I am going to go back and read it more carefully because I really love the result. GREAT card.

Gorgeous BG Sabrina, you really brought all the flowers to this card to life. Those poppies really pop and the humming birds finish this off beautifully. Wendy is going to just love this stunning card. Thank you so much for joining in on the challenge.
