No one can ever call Curt lazy. He happened upon these potted flowers of the miniature kind, saw that they were in need of water so off he went to get the hose and give them a sprinkle. Now if this was in Colorado where it tends to snow and get real cold and perhaps you forgot to disconnect the hose from the spigot, he would probably have to first let the ice cubes flow through the stiff hose! hehe BUT no problem-O. We are headed to Arizona!...or should I say, our cardÂ’s are about Arizona or southwestern stuff. Hey, do yourself a favor and go here to read all about itÂ…Â….now my cardÂ…..
DH has lots of southwestern kind of pots. So I was inspired by them to make my pots here. I used ovals and a circle for them, Zentangled the designs and colored with copics.
Drew Gardener Curt, hose, fence and part of the teapot. Oh and the stem and leaves. The flowers are compliments of the internet. Coloring was done with copics except for the fence and CurtÂ’s sombrero, which was done with a stylus and prisma pencils. The teapot house was first painted with light molding medium, then dabbed color on using chalk pastels. Window, shelf and clay pot copics.
Stamped the Judith grass and SU leaves and sponged the clouds using RR cloud stencil. Then sponged the grass. Lots of masking done here. My trick for that is print out a b/w copy of the scene/image on regular paper, then cut out the parts I need, much easier than re-stamping or drawing. hehe
Well, that is it once again. Hope you have enjoyed another Teapot Tuesday with Curt cardÂ…..Have a splendid Tuesday everyone!......TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Thinking of you today. Hi NC Sis!
P.SÂ…Â…btw, I guess itÂ’s true, big hats DO make your butt look smaller. Why just look at CurtÂ’s, it has practically disappeared Â…..Note to self, buy big sombrero! Â….. hehe :0)
