It's okay to do white now that it is past Mother's Day!! Our challenge was to use white with one other color. Unless you sneak in the backdoor... then you can wear whatever colors you want. Since I have been away from the teaparty for a few weeks now, I thought I better be on my best behaviour, and come in through the front door!!
So I used all white cardstock, with some sponging of Pink Pirouette. The flower was made with the Sizzix Flower Layer die. Each layer is sponged, and popped up with dimensions. I still had a messy desk from my card yesterday, so I used the same background stamp, and I just had to use the white satin ribbon. It is the most luscious ribbon that I have ever touched.
On the center of my flower, I used one of MariLynn's hot glue pearls that she sent me, since we are celebrating her birthday this week.
TFL!!

Hi Kris! Welcome back! We have missed you! I am so glad you came to the Teaparty today! I love your sweet little card, white with one color! How did the front door feel? Snort! I might just have to get that die....I have seen so many fun cards using its awesome flower, like yours! Its beautiful and I love that you have a touch of *Marilynn* on it!
Hey, can you do me a favor? Since you are here early, can you talk to Carla a little! Kelly (schmircat) was here just for a minute (she hasn't done her card yet) and she told Carla she can't wear white today. Well, one thing led to another and Kelly pushed Carla in a mud puddle! Carla's beautiful white outfit now looks like Vanilla/Chocolate Marble Ice Cream. She is sad, we need to cheer her up!
Thanks for coming Kris....glad to see you. Thanks for bringing this wonderful card and for the link! Happy today!

Kris this is so pretty. I love it. I am really liking that flower. MariLynn's pearls are perfect for this elegant card. The soft touch of pink really makes it all pop. Great job... Just gorgeous...

Good to have you back. Your flower is beautiful and the pearl is such a nice tribute to MariLynn's birthday. I see where Cindy has given you a peacemakers job. Miss a few weeks and immediately you have a chore.
