this is for mothermarks teapot tuesday challenge...
today everyone is going to tour de france races..
I am sure all the ladies are going to be tired and wanting to rest with some tea... I decided to bring the flowers.. tea is always better with a beautiful fragrant flower to grace the tables...
I am going as fast as I can (wait for meeeeeeee) please!!!
coloring is gamsol/prisma pencils, stipple the sky with blue and the edges with old olive and the bottom with adirondack mushroom. add some branches to finish of the little scene and a few punched flowers..
what do you think.. flowers worth waiting for?
thanks for stopping by~ it makes my day!!

Hey guys! Slow down a little, NO, not that much! Just enough for Judy to catch up! Look at her, look at the flowers she has with her! She is bringing those to us! Okay, slow down a little more, she's almost here.....Yep, here she comes! Okay, slow down a little more, she had a little set back there......okay, let's just stop, those flowers are definately worth stopping for. When she gets here and if she can't stay with us, one of you will have to stay behind and coach her through! Or we could just go shopping! Lets do that!!
Leave it to you to make the most beautiful snail card on the face of the earth! Your snail is wonderful! I love the little smile on his face, he must know some of the other snails and is happy to be reunited....or maybe he is snickering at our Teapot Tuesday Bicycling Team! Hmm........I love this card!!! You did good!
Thanks for working so hard to catch up with your flowers!

Judy I will gladly wait for you. I love the way you create a scene on every card. This is a fine addition to this slow bunch of snail stampers. Great color combo. One of my favorite. I LOVE that sizzix die. It makes a great card. TFS

Oh JaydeMonet! This is tres elegant and just like one of those paintings from the Louvre...though, I noted that I was suspicious that other partiers may have STOLEN their cards from there, and I hope, young lady that yours is an ORIGINAL...! SO PRETTY (and that is typically a difficult thing to write about a SNAIL card)...thanks for bringing some elegance to the party today!

awwww, he is too cute! Fresh flowers are always worth the wait! My little snail buddies will wait for him, besides they suffer from low self esteem, they can benefit from the flowers too!

oh, but this is CUUUUTE! the details are perfect: green and purple, doodling the edges, gingham ribbon, even polka dotted flower centers! the snail is adorable, and the flower is so sweet. it was just what we needed around here--it was getting a little smelly with all those stinky boys! of course, tea partiers don't sweat, they *glisten*! thanks for this one! ~K

Judy, I agree with MM! You made the most beautiful snail card in the world! You could market that on your flyers when you start holding classes!
This is just as darling as can be! I'm so glad you brought flowers. It offsets all the snail slime comments flying around. Leave it to you to bring a little fresh-smelling dignity to the group.
Although I love escargot, I dare not say it among this teapartying group! But I'm hungry and no one brought treats this week ... shall we go find a little patisserie one street over to get out of the fray?
Mental note to self: Bring treats next week.

Well, to quote MudderMark: 'Leave it to you to make the most beautiful snail card on the face of the earth!' I could not have said it better! Oh my goodness- Judy, your detail is incredible! First off, *love* the scalloped shape of your card! And purple! Delish! Everything you did from the doodles to the ribbon and flowers screams 'save me in your favs'! I love it! LYMI
