WooHoo it is Tickle a Teapotter time and Gabby aka gabalot has written a terrific story and set a great challenge for us to bring a stamped character to life, in memory of Beatrix Potter. Here is my "once upon a time" story.
Plucka Duck lived and worked at the Downtown Abby Feather, Duck and Down factory. Every morning as the sun came up, Plucka and his pals would waddle up the hill, quack amongst themselves and happily wait to have their feathers plucked.
Downtown Abbey Feather, Duck and Down factory produces the finest doona's, quilts and comforters in the world. Many of Plucka's relatives have feathers in a Downtown Abbey quilt.
Plucka's great-great aunt Jemima was at Downtown until she wrote her first adventure novel in collaboration with Beatrix Potter. Around the same time, Jemima's twin brother set sail for China and promptly changed his name to Peking, where upon he met and married Crispy Skin. Together Peking Duck and Crispy Skin Duck had 5 little ducks.
Plucka has not seen his uncle Donald or his neighbours boy, Daffy, since they both moved to Hollywood. He misses them dearly, but most of all, Plucka Duck misses his big brother Fatty.
Fatty and an old family friend Heston Blumenthal, own a famed Michelin 3-star restaurant in Britain. Apparently the Fat Duck has a 12 month waiting list!!!
Plucka is immensely proud of his family, as they are of him. Plucka co-founded the ride share business, Uber Duck. All proceeds from Uber Duck go to providing shelter for all the wild ducks around the world.
What a wonderful duck. The End.
Now, about this stair step card. The Uber Duck and his passengers started out life as a Sassy Cheryl digi image, they were coloured with Derwent Inktense pencils. The background was done with Distress Inks
I hope this uploads properly from my iPad. DH and I are away camping, but I didn't want to miss Gabby's fun challenge and tickling a Teapotter. Thank you for looking.

It doesn't get any cuter than this Susie, It sure made me smile this morning. From the thumbnail I thought it could be a duck, saw your title and said yup, it must be a duck... But should have realized it was one of your cards and knew it would be a duck.... But I still didn't expect to see a duck with 4 kids on its back... You always bring it... Fun card my dear...
