Hello, B.B.B. Bear here~ thats Barnaby Barthelamew Bramble Bear....... but my friends call be Bart!
Today we are trying to bring some color into my beary bestest forest friend and neighbor, Abner's life. Abner is our not so scary abdominable snowman. He hates snow and all the white, he is white, the snow is white, even his footprints are white. I love the snow... although I DO sleep through most of the worst of it~hee! Our mission today is for everyone at the tea party to bring him some subtle hints of color.. not to bright.. we don't want him to be overwhelmed. it might make him mad, and we don't want to get his temper up.. you never know what might happen.
On my way to the tea party, I picked this one of a kind flower. It grows in a secret canyon not far from my den.
This special flower is magical! it brings all the colors of the rainbow to your eyes with just one little whiff of its amazing frangance.
Oh come on~~~ I know what your thinking~~NO~~ it's not a drug! shame on you!
now, back to the story.
Once you smell its fragrance you have lovely visions of a colorful spring...... Oh here we go again! NO~~ its really not a drug, just smells really good!
you don't actually go into a trance or anything~ with visions dancing in your head all colorful with NO white.......
Oh! I give up!
Here is my flower and soft colors for my friend, Abner. enjoy!!
so this is my story... tea pot tuesday again today..
can't wait to see all the lovely colors all of you will be bringing..
this also qualifies for todays color challenge~ to use some or all of the colors representing the Olympics.. I have use three, green, blue and dark red, and to have metal of some kind, thus the silver brads.
my coloring is gamsol, prisma and lyra pencils.
the trees are dtp.
thanks for stopping by~ it makes my day special!

Don't be looking for Mothermark today! She thought she could handle some triple twist loop-de-loop 360 quad toe pick action and ended up in traction! She asked me (her altered ego) to fill in since I have been training for the Evian Water Babies Roller Blade team!
Oh Whew! Bart, its you! You skeered me bud, I thought it was the Better Business Bureau looking for our permit! Hey, dude, that .........thing.....er, colorful flower......, yah that....you brought that just for you and me to share right??? Okay, good!
Mothermark wanted me to tell you that this card rocks. The image is wonderful, the color is outstanding (Abner loves it!) and the story is da bomb! She's pretty passionate about wonderful cards, like this one!
