You see, we are celebrating MariLynn's birthday today at Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge, and we were told to only bring MariLynn pristine white WHITE flowers (she is picky about her blooms!)...and well, that's what I TOLD the florist! But when I put those blooms in water and they blossomed, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED! Colors bursting everywhere, and now I am banished to the back door, again! But I did blow the dust off of my Cutty Buddy, which hasn't seen alot of love lately what with my gingham backgrounder stamp...but I had a hard time figuring out how to make white gingham show up on white paper! Maybe I'll just start looking for a gingham teapot for Mothermark so I can get even more use out of it!

Kelly, this is one fabulous card. I love all your little embossed flowers. The brads that you used really livened it up. I think you, Cathy and I are going to have to fight it out to see which card is the most colorful.

Ohhhh - I hope you find a gingham teapot. I have so much sitting here waiting to be used - no backgrounder, but gingham mulberry and gingham vellum.
This is just wonderful with all those little brads - I just LOVE it. Such a simple idea but so wonderfully executed.

You know what? I am getting to where I just can't find it in myself to trust these crazy florists anymore! You just can't do it! And to think this particular one is forcing you to use the back door! The Nerve!!! Well, if you want all us Teapot partiers would be happy to write a letter to that person's boss....should we try to get her fired? Well, maybe with the economy we shouldn't but she's not getting my business!
(That was Gertie!) How Cindy's really feels is she would like to get her a raise because her mishap resulted in this wonderful card! How creative and fun! Its so beautiful and what a fun idea to use the cutty buddy folder to do a splash of flowers!
Maybe you have an altered ego.....to push Carla in a mud puddle in the morning and then bring these wonderful flowers in the afternoon seems sorta odd.....Hmm.....
Whisper: Read Carla and Kris comments from me! Surely it will get a rise of of you! Snort!
Ooh....Ooh....thanks for the picture of the gingham apron. It's tucked safely away for future use!

Oh, Kelly, this is SOOOO sweet!! I love the simple design and adding all that color with those little brads. What a great look. I have a piece of cs embosssed with that folder that didn't get used on another card. I just might have to try this.
Oh, and I don't believe for a second that you pushed Carla in the mud! I think it was the neighbors dog that knocked her over.... yes, blame it on the dog. Poor Carla with the muddy clothes....

Well, I don't think you should have to use the back door with this card!
MariLynn is going to love every bright bloom. Just don't think anyone who brings flowers for a birthday would be pushing people into the mud.
Is the mud pushing one of those urban myths?

It is about time you showed up. I was getting worried. They said you were here and then you just disappeared. Love this great card Kelly. Very creative way to use that folder. Love the little pops of color. Great job....

Sweet card Kelly! I love your background and the little bursts of colored flowers. Can you tell me where to get flowers that change color like that but only from white to blue, it is my favorite color you know.
