I inked, chalked and colored the sky and grass. I also stamped a grass image at the bottom using two different colors of green. The outhouse was cut out of brown cardstock. I cut 2 outhouses. I cut a door on the top one. I glued them together leaving the door free. I used my 3/4" circle punch to make my moon. I punched out a black circle and then I put that circle on a post it note on the sticky part. I then used the same punch to punch it again but a little off center the second time. The end result is a crescent shape. I glued the moon on the outhouse. I added a brad for the door handle. I took an oval and folded it in half to make the toilet and it's lid. I added 4 rectangles for the legs. I added a small black oval. I quilled the tp. I took a piece of brown cardstock that was 1" by 1/4" I glued that to a piece of white typing paper that was 7 " by 1/4". I made the little perferations on the tp with a dressmakers pattern transfer wheel.#I don't know if that is the technical name or not.# I rolled it over the typing paper at 1/4" intervals. I used my quilling tool to quill it. After it was done I glued it leaving about 1" free. I took a piece of wire and a brad to attach it to the back of the outhouse. I then glued the outhouse to the base of my card. I then stitched around the edges using twine. I started with a big eyed needle, but after the needle broke I just continued stitching with a piece of wire that was wrapped around the twine. On the door I added graffiti. It says "4 a good time join Mothermark on Tuesdays." Of course this card has to go to her.

Oh my goodness, poor MotherMark now has graffiti about her on the outhouse wall. What a creation! And, stitching with wire. You really put
your heart into this one. Too cute!
