This is for two challenges: The Color Challenge was to use Soft Suede, Apricot Appeal, Almost Amethyst with White or Ivory. I didn't get the dessert on this card (Clips, Fasteners or Ties) unless you count Dimensionals as fasteners or bows as ties! LOL!
Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday was for the tea partiers to bring birdies to a party on a train. These cards are to go to one of the partier's mom who will be 75 soon if we choose to mail them to her. I think a 75 year old lady would love lots of flowers along with the birdie, so that's what I did. Thanks for taking a peek!!

Gorgeous! I'm really loving those colors and just got my back-ordered Amethyst and Apricot cardstock. Love your embossed layers and pretty little flowers. This Purdy Birdie will make Nancy's day!

CarrollAnn, I *love* your handcrafted blooms! Your card is a delight- the cuttled bg, and sweet lil bird make your card sing! Beautiful sis! Hey- I feel like I have the best seat in the house today, right between you and Giggles! Woot! Now try to be good, and pass the scones! LYMI

Is a bow not a tie? What on earth is a tie - surely it doesn't mean what guys wear around their necks. I really like how the dotted bird matches the background, and those sweet flowers blooming along the embossed vine.

I love the "soft beauty" of this card. I used the same embossing border but never thought of using little flowers on it like that! Thanks for the idea! I'll have to remember that!

Rut roh! CA you have done it now! You have caused a riot on the Birdbrain Train! All the little birdies are having a fit cuz they all want their very own circle and sweet little flowers! What are we gonna do now? If I tell them its for the birthday mom, they won't believe me......I sorta have a reputation for spinning a story. Can you think of something? Quick like???
OMG! What a special card this is....I can't wait until Nancy opens all her birthday mail and flips out with all these birdies!
Hey, heard you didn't get your dessert in the color challenge...follow me, I'll find ya something...but it will be gooey, sweet and probably very fattening! Whoot!
