This week we're sending our cards off to a young lady by the name of Rebekah. Seems she missed out on her 12th birthday celebration due to some unforeseen incidents. Never fear, the Teapotters have stepped in and are sending birthday wishes her way. we're a little late, but better late than never, or so they say.
Whut's this about Fuzzy Butt,
He's doing the stray cat strut.
He's got a companion that's a Tiger,
He's feeding the birdies a little nyjer.
From right to left
Bring in the stray cats of the block,
They howl and scream like a cocks o' the walk.
There's Scruffy, he's a tuffy
then there's Cuddles, she makes little puddles,
Look here's Scrappy, he's a little snappy.
Katunga's a lover, there's no other,
Princess Inuway, her name says it all.
And last but not least, there's Tykus,
please please, don't make a fuss.
The gang is here to bring some cheer,
it's Happy Birthday to Rebekah Dear.
You're a good little girl
and in your Mother's eyes,
you're a Pearl!
First I stamped the kitties and embossed. Then I colored them with Prisma pencils. I made the lines of the fence, scribbled in the woodgrain, drew the knotholes and punched the top. I did the tree in cream and colored it with Tombow markers. The sky bg is mulberry paper. Added a few butterflies and flowers and that was it. Until I asked DH for his opinion. He said I needed to fill in the knot holes. So I did that and took some more photos.
I've got the poem in Word, so I'll print out a copy and send it off to Rebekah with the card.

Your card is super adorable and your poem wonderful! All the cats made me smile against the fence. I am going to have to look this one up and add it to my kitty collection. Rebekah will truly love this card!

Bwaahahaha! My first thought was...ooh, I hope Jennifer prints out the poem and encloses it in the card! Giggle! And then I read the last sentence! Whoot!
OMG! You talked about a fuzzy butt image! Could not have done better with this one Jennifer! I love this sweet little card. This coupled with your poem is sure gonna bring a smile to little Rebekah!
Oooh, that tree! Its wonderful...no wonder this crew is hanging close by! I hope they can get to the teaparty before they all decide to curl up and take a nap in the shade...The princess is already there! Snort!
