I haven't been able to do a teaparty card for awhile and I sure have missed the fun - this week the cards go to Alan and Ellen, a recently married couple who could use some cheer - Alan is Marie's (momof5sons) brother - Marie is one of the kindest people on SCS, and I hope she's encouraged by the teaparty this week too!
Pretty sure I won't get any cookies, I think Cindy wanted us to think outside the box, and not automatically resort to flowers in the wedding colors of green and red - but my brain seems to be in the box today... I did add red butterflies! Not too much needs explaining here, just lots of die-cuts and a computer generated sentiment (Monterey font) to make it personal. The dp panel is stitched.

Bridget this brought tears to my eyes...do you know how hard it is to comment when you are crying?!? This is so amazing, done with your beautiful style. I love every petal and every stem and every pearl and every wing...but most of all how personalized this is. I am sure that they will treasure this for a long time. Thank you so much for playing this week sweet friend - it means more to me than you will ever know. What you said about me is a bit of an exaggeration, but right back at you!!! Big Hugz across the miles!

So glad you could come to the tea party. You can never go wrong with flowers as your card will be just as beautiful coming in the back door as the front!

I wouldn't worry about your brain being in the box - I see a doily which is perfect for serving some slices of wedding cake on, and the dainty floral paper and your pearly butterflies and flowers are just what's called for. After all, we need some room decor as well as all the cake!
