Here is my card for MMTPT233. I found this bird on some patterned paper, and thought she fit the casting call of Beauty (though the teapot is a swan). Beauty’s story can be found here.
And now for the rest of the story: Beauty got tired of walking, took to flight, and landed in a bush with berries. She decided she had eaten too much of the food the cook at the castle had prepared, joined Weight Watchers for the new year, and was feasting on fruits in an effort to lose weight. She thought she’d hang around here for a while, certain that eventually other creatures who made the same New Year’s resolution as she would show up. She expects to soon have a mate to join her on her journey to Pearland, Texas, to bring a little Teapotter cheer to Martha Davis, Mothermark’s aunt.
Paper: DCWV Botanicals Stack, SU Bashful Blue, another retired Blue (Ballet?), Always Artichoke, and Ivory
Ink: SU Brocade Blue (retired)
Accessories: Sizzix labels, Cheery Lynn die (a small piece of it), ribbon, pearls, embossing folder, and butterfly punch
