Thank goodness Cindy added a backdoor policy! You see, I had to clean some filters today on my day off. Designed this card before I left. It just happened to fit with the color challenge. haha I got home, took my boots off and set my *white* cup of tea down on the window sill. Went to read what was happening at the tea party today. Discovered I had used a few too many colors on my card. Thus the backdoor
entry!.........details....
Running a little late, hope there is some of MariLynn's happy cake left. I am hungry! I drew this little window scene. It reminds me of the movie Under the Tuscan Sun that I watched the other night. I also had the SU Branch Out set on my table and the tiny parts just fit perfectly with my scene.
I drew the white tea cup so I could fit in with the *white* theme at the party today. It is a little small so I added the tea cup pointer so you could see it! LOL
Cut my layers out with a squiggly coluzzle, sponged edges and doodled. Put this on a white panel that I scored then sponged color on.
Put all this on a card that I doodled the edges and then left ......white.... trying to tone down all the extra colors so I wouldn't be scolded too bad for coming in the backdoor! Well, hope you like it and that you can see my tea cup cause it needs to be refilled!!! .........TFL :0)

Cathy, they ate all the cake, but they sent Dawn out to get some more cake. I love your colorful card. Those boots are what caught my eye. I love the scoring.

Well, the birthday cake is gone...yep the girls ate it even before Marilynn got there. We had saved her a piece but it went missing......so I sent Shirley out to get another and so far she hasn't made it back yet....I wonder if she was hungry as well??? I was gonna send Dawn but she was dressed up like a mummy and she is keeping an eye out for Kelly cuz Kelly pushed Carla in a mud puddle cuz she was dressed in white before Memorianl Day! Okay, that about sums it up!
On to your card...Hey nuttin' wrong with coming in the back door. I always leave the back door open becuase half the time I have to use the back door myself! Your card is wonderful and creative as all yours are....you did a great job! What a fun story too! I am so glad you labled the tea cup so that we could know what it was! Snort!
Thanks for coming thanks for the link...maybe I should send you out to look for Shirley and the cake!!!!

Hey, Cathy! This is cool! No problem coming in the back door anyway! You still get cake. They went out for another since the first one was gone before MariLynn ever showed up! What a wonderful little scene you created! Your artwork is amazing - but you know that! I love the little white teacup. Better bring it on in and fill it up so you have something with your cake! Great design with today's colors, too!

How funny that you drew a window and teacup for the party today. I love your creativeness. I went in the front door today, I acted like I didn't know I messed up. :0) Sorry I couldn't find another cake, that is what took me so long to get back to the party. I just kept looking for one, town after town.
