Cindy challenged us with an all white teapot today. I think Abner and I could get along really well, accept that he is made of snow and I am so tired of snow that I am going to scream. Had to shovel 8 inches off of my driveway yesterday. I'm so sore today!!! We do share a longing for color though so for today Abner and I have something in common. Cindy challenged us to have a white background and add a little color. I really tried to do that, but the color wouldn't stay off of it. I justified it by the fact that I started with a white piece of cardstock to make this card. No colored cardstock. I inked, brayered, chalked, markered and prisma colored all of the color you see. This is also for the olympic color challenge. I did event # 5 with my gold dessert being the little bit of gold glitter in the centers of the flowers.
This card was also a combination of my last 2 cards.
I am have a tutorial on my blog for making the dogwood flowers. Check it out... Mississippi McGyver. Warning... I have music on my blog.
Cindy you said NO SNOWFLAKES, so I guess I am going to have to come in the back door. You don't see the snowflakes? They are the centers of my flowers.

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 to fill in since I have been training for the Evian Water Babies Roller Blade team!
Hey, your here.....Follow me Marilyn...Abner is coming this way, said he thought he saw some snowflakes! He can't see too well through his fuzzy white hair so no worries.....you'll be safe!
Oh yeah, Mothermark wanted me to tell you how wonderful the color is that you put to your white cardstock! Its beautifully done.....and she loves your signature butterfly! The blossoms look so real even with snowflakes!
