It's tea time once again, and I am running a little bit late due to a camera uploading issue...but it's still afternoon and I hope to settle myself and gaze into the garden and enjoy the tweet tweet of the doves...do doves tweet?
Well, you get my drift...
This is for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge...you can see it here: https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?bl...2&isPopup=true
Thanks for stopping by, won't you join us??
My colors look much more demure in real life. This is coloring with markers on the back of Vellum, a new technique I've not tried, I liked it!

What a very delicate beautifully done card. You definitely get to enter through the front door with this one! Just be sure to cover it, I hear the *poop* is a flying! Lovely card. TFS :0)

Do doves not coo? And bill????
I love the look of vellum coloured behind, so I can just imagine how pretty this is. I think the embossing folder is perfect for the teapot this week, and love your flowering tree and all the pearls.

Beautiful card. Bet it is even more stunning irl. I will have to try this velum technique. I think our doves can tweet or do whatever we want them to do.

You tried another new trick? Holy cow girl! Your card is so sweet and delicate! Doves must tweet cuz you said they do and we make all the rules at our tea parties! That's why we have been jett setting around the world in the last few weeks!
So glad you could come Traci! I hoped you would but was not sure if you were back in town! I absolutely love the softness of your beautiful card...its so feminine and pretty! Isn't Dublin beautiful and Sabrina is the perfect hostess. Yeah, I know there's alot of birds flying around, where is your hat?

Traci! Over here! Come over here, gf. You can sit with those of us who have chosen to be classy and refined ladies today. Some of the other goofy girls have gotten carried away with the poop theme and are flinging it all over (gee, (can you believe the rowdiness of some people??--Ha! Ha!). Be careful not to step on Peggy's head, and definitely watch out for Cathy's little turdy birdies cause they are poopin' up a storm right next to ya!
Your card is so lovely and elegant and soft and beautiful! It is the epitome of a beautiful botanical garden. Step right through the front door, my friend. We're so happy you are here!

Traci this is so pretty. I love the vellum. I have not used vellum in so long. It gives your card such a pretty, soft feel. Love it. I had issues uploading my card too. Glad it wasn't just my day to struggle with technicalities. I got your message on my blog. Hugs to you...

Yes, I agree with Sabrina. Doves definitely coo. But yours can tweet if you'd like! Especially when they look this good.
This is the prettiest card! I love your vellum and corners and pearls. Yep, I love it all!

Hi Tracy....Charlene is trying to be good but in the Garden Bertie is acting up and causing a lot of trouble. She has been getting a lot of us to gather up all the poop and she is having poop fights with all the locals here. You know what that means...yep we are going to get thrown out of the Garden.
Oh and BTW your card is so pretty...TFS

What a great technique! Gotta give that a try. Just love the way the bird from that CB folder sits atop your oval. It looks so at home there. The colors are wonderful, so soft and pretty. And your little pearl accents on that tree are the perfect touch. Very nicely done!
