Our Teapot Tuesday cards are going to Foxy67Â’s (Pat) family friend, Peggy. I hope our cards help bring some sunshine to Peggy and let her know she is in our thoughts.
Marie gave us a great story this week. It is set in a town called Wobegone MN, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking and the children are above average. Sounds like Teapotterville hey!!
Marge and Sven Olsen have organised a community drive through the peaceful village to remind everyone how beautiful their town is. The ladies from Teapotterville have chipped in to help, they have flown their hot air balloon to assist. Everything in Wobegone is beautiful, even old jalopies abandoned in the bush have flowers growing from them.
For a bit of a change I thought I would make a double stairstep card (I even make myself laugh sometimes). The hero of this card is the paper, the hot air balloon was at the very top and the old floral jalopy was at the very bottom edge. I kept the strip at the bottom of the DP so I could tell you what brand it is, I put it in a safe place. As soon as I find said “safe place” I shall edit this post and let you now!!
I jazzed up the dp by colouring the dark pink, yellow, orange and green areas with Zig Swish of Stella brushes. I have worked out that these brushes are great on small areas. I added lots of liquid pearls and little punched flowers. The tree is made with a skeleton leaf as the base (stuck on acetate) and covered with a gazillion leaf punches.
Nothing drastic happened this week, no stamps or people were harmed in the making of thisÂ…I knowÂ…I canÂ’t believe it either. I did however put a big thumb print of ink on the right hand side, I fixed that by putting the cloud on its side. Job sorted. I am not too sure how the feather will stand up to 2 weeks squished in an envelope!!
Thank you for looking and have a wonderful week everyone.
