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.

Oh my gosh! Not only are your cards a delight but you and your stories are too! Head fell off? I nearly fell off the chair laughing! This card is just too fun! I can't imagine the fussy cutting you did and how long it took you to do all that! Those fun images in gingham shirts- just wow on your composition and imagination!

OMG... this is too cute! Some lucky teapotter is going to be thrilled with this amazing creation! Love your write-up... I laughed out loud when I read about Hazy's head falling off.

Susie - DARLING card! So glad you got Hazy's head back on straight--heehee! Seriously, this and all of your TPer cards are outrageously detailed and so blasted cute. All of the images are colored and/or paper pieced so nicely and your use of die-cuts on fold after fold .. terrific!
