I missed the tea party last week when I was out of town, so I'm glad to be able to make it this week! But this week, we have to bring veggie snacks and I'm not so sure about that part!
Now I know that my card looks nothing like Cindy's adorable tea pot, but I at least kept with the colors. There's no stamping - just layering of this cool DP from Black Market Paper Society called Letters From Paradise. I added some ribbon, punched butterflies and tiny pink gems to finish it.
Sorry I missed out on last week's affair!
Glad to be back!
TFL!

Carla, this is gorgeous. I love your Nestie panels. That ribbon is so luxurious. The papers that you used are not only beautiful, but work so well together for this week's teapot. The recipient of this card will be blessed for sure.

Carla, it was a very elegant affair last week. Not sure about the healthy theme this week, you know fruits and veggies! lol I did sneak in some chocolate, but don't tell Cindy. Your card is gorgeous. Love the dp you used. Your punched butterflies with the gem bodies are darling. Glad to see you at the tea party today! TFS :0)

I LOVE your CABBAGE ROSES! I think I used to have a denim jacket in high school that kind of looked like this, hee! Remember when cabbage roses were on lots of fashion in the 80's?! Love the layout, though I am a bit concerned that you smuggled in Black Market snacks...that might make Cindy call those Bouncers back again, hee! And Mr. McMotherway is packing heat today what with all the bunnies, so keep your nose clean Carla!!!!

Kelly beat me to it but I immediately thought of cabbage roses and believe you me I was in high school way before the 80's. Like how you framed the roses and oh that ribbon!!

OMG! How gorgeous is this? How can you make an elegant cabbage card! You did the unthinkable! This is so beautiful. I love the shape of the nestie, the beautiful satin ribbon and the glitzy butterflies! Beautifully done Carla!
We're sorry you missed last week too but we are happy you are here today. I even told Mr McMotherway to put his heat down until you got in the door! Didn't wanna scare you off. Now if you don't keep your nose clean, that's another story! He's fast on the draw!
What a great card! Beautiful cabbage! Thanks for the link!

Very beautiful and elegant. Of course, ya gotta have elegance at a tea party, especially Cindy's. The roses look like cabbages with their layers. Lovely. Did you bring a veggie tray?
