In honor of Cindy, (Mothermark) Ruby has set out her finest teapot and has invited her lil critter friends to come celebrate Cindy's special day. Knowing how Cindy loves tea, Ruby has steeped her famous 'Forget-Me-Not' flower tea and has some lovely lemon scones in the oven. Oh how Ruby loves Cindy! She even made a special sign to hang on a lovely shade tree, so Cindy will have a place of honor. Happy Birthday Mudder! Huge Snugs!
I always have trouble getting the correct coloring for Gruffies, but today I used black EP on Choc Chip and Close to Cocoa, and Real Red and pieced them together. The tea pot, cup, eyes and nose have Crystal Effects on them to make them shine.
Thanks for looking!

Oh Pat what a beautiful card for Cindy, you can't go wrong with the dottie ribbon and teapot for sure, I can just see Cindy sitting with Ruby with their pinkies high sipping tea and enjoying those scones. Now we know how The Black Bear Tea co. started do you think they are drinking Black Bear Berry or Bear cub Berry haha! I bet it's her best birthday tea party ever
