I just had more fun than I think is legal !!! I am ever so slowly working my way through the Dare to Get Dirty challenges but there was no way I was missing out on Teapot Tuesday.
This week we are tickling a fellow Teapotter. Faith (yabbadodo) has given us a fun story about Hazy and Lazy. We have to bring summer fun and games to the girls.
Anyone participating in DTGD will recognise a few challenges here. If you don't know and if I tell you, I will have to kill you, so it's probably best if I just tell you about the construction of my card.
"Beates" Stair Step is my all time favourite fold (I hear some of you laughing). This has 3 sets of steps (made like normal, I just made the cardstock wider and added extra steps). Best of all it fits into a DL envelope (business letter size).
Our teapotter Jennifer (mother'sdaughter) sent me lots of gorgeous diecuts and lovely Peggy (jasonw1) sent me a pushbike die.
Young Hazy and Lazy started out life as digi images by Sassy Cheryl. Their little outfits are paper pieced. I used copics for heads and hair. I still can't shade properly so I swooshed some distress ink through their hair. Origionally I tried to watercolour their hair....I think I over did the amount of water and Hazy's head fell off....so I started again and will leave watercolouring for another day.
Thanks for looking. I am very happy that Lazy and Hazy are going to a Teapotters home. I forgot to say, the centre wall at the back is actually a little card to write on and then place over the back step.

I'm looking at this fantastic card, wondering how I can write a comment that would describe how wonderful I think it is. Here's the list: detailed, spectacular, awesome, well designed and fantastic (for the second time) coloring.

What an awesome scene you have created with your wide stair-step card. I love the bicycle and the fence. The way you paper-pieced the outfits is so fun. Great job with all of those challenges!!!
