What another fine Tuesday. The color challenge today worked perfectly for the Teapot Tuesday challenge. MariLynn, did you do that on purpose? hehe Thanks for hosting this week.
Today we are being thankful for what-ever we are thankful for. The teapot that we are to be in spired by has a cardinal on it. I didn't have any little cardinals to use so the birdies I used were happy to be considered "faux" cardinals. Didn't put a sentiment on, but just know that I am thankful for so many things that this card isn't big enough to display! ........my card.....
On water color paper, drew the teapot, not quite as pretty as the one MariLynn was inspired by. On white cs, stamped and red eb my birdies, cut out. Cut out around the teapot with a hexagon coluzzle, having a little of it "outside" the box, then added the five eyelets and sponged the edges red.
The brown bg was downloaded from I think Gina K. Stamped with versa mark the flower thing then clear ep, and sponged the edges.
On a white card, I stamped the dotted bg with black and clear eb then sponged the edges.
Put everything together popping up two of the birds. Then added the Anne Ryan bow. I think that's about it. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate and am very "thankful" for any and ALL comments!!! You guys are the best!.....TFL :0)

I find your chubby little red birds very refreshing!! There are an awful lot of cardinals flying around the gallery. Your little birds look friendly, and I like your card!! :>)
