"But of course, dahling! You must have known. It simply had to be done. He was a spy within our own ranks. A mole as you Brits like to say. He had to be eliminated. So I took it upon myself because.....yes... I had always mistrusted him. He was the type that would betray an old friend if there was something to gain.
For heavenÂ’s sake no! I didnÂ’t do it in here! My lovely parlor? What do you think I am some sort of Barbarian? No, I persuaded him to go outside to that new little apartment over the garage.The place my housekeeper, Garnet uses. Housekeeper.... what a laugh. She spends all her time making cards and things. Terribly pedestrian donÂ’t you think?
But I degress.... you came for more information. As I said, I did it. And I did it with the odorless mineral spirits, so even the best of your police force will never be able to trace his death to me.
So now you know the whole truth. But perhaps I was a little hasty in divulging so much. Would you mind getting that little bottle for me? Yes, the one with the picture of Mona Lisa........ "
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Made this card for MotherMarks Teapot Tuesday challenge. I could not get the acetate to look right in the scanner, so it only looks gray.

OMGosh, Scarlet ... er, Garnet, you're a scream! Love your story and LOVE your card. Uber elegant lady you've got there all dressed up in scarlet. Wonderful addition to the tea party. I do believe this qualifies for Anne's RedDivas, too (jdmommy)!

Yikes! Never trust a classy looking broad with red lipstick, red rubies, and the initial S on her card! Snort! Hee! Love your story....heaven forbid you mess up the parlor with a messy murder! Scarlet is not only beautiful but she has a brain too, a dangerous combination! Hee!
Love that you are playing some of the old challenges! Thanks for letting us know in the thread! This card rocks!
