This is my first shadow box card, or atempt at one. This is for Mothermarks suma wrestler tea party. For suma's I have the butt one, and the big belly one,and the gorilla suma tea pot, and the suma drinking tea from a tiny tea cup, and holding a tiny tea saucer hehe.. Now this was a fun card to do even with all it's mistakes. The butterflys in the inside are a graphic I got off of the internet, including the suma's. The ribbon was some scraps I had left over....I had some sushi, but someone must of ate it cauze I can't find it.
Cindy thanks for the Tuesday Tea Pot Parties...It's been a blast.

Hey Pat! You're here! I feel like I should make a recording of this but I need to give you my disclaimer! Since I have been waiting for you all to arrive on the terrace, this is what I have learned:
WHATEVER you do, DON'T step foot in the big circle right there. See that big circle? Cuz if you do, that big fat quy in the diaper will push you out, almost as soon as you step in and some times its sorta violent! He might be our host today but his has an attitude as big as his belly! Shhh! Here he comes!!
However, having just said that, I am happy to see that we finally have some competition now for the big fat quy in the white diaper! 4 against one? Sounds good to me! Just be prepared to put up with the new attitudes your wrestlers will sport if they beat the *professional*! Snort!
So glad you were able to come and how creative and fun your card is! I love that you are trying new techniques and having fun! Thanks for coming again this week. You are becoming quite the regular at these tea parties!

I just love it Pat. I have not made one of these cards but have always wanted to. I love your window and the pretty butterflies. The sumos are a great touch for today. Funny. Awesome card. Watch out for the Saki in the tea.

Oh Pat, how sweet this is! Love those 2 suma wrestlers and your first attempt at a shadow box is phenomenal. Love the floral image. Yikes, you should have asked for the asian letters you sent me. They would have been so perfect with this great card of yours, girl.

What a great idea to make a shadow box. Those wrestlers are a hoot. My question is did you come in the front door or the back? Those butterflies are so pretty. I love the contrast of their fragileness and the wrestlers strength. Great card.
