Welcome back Mothermark. (notice the bats on my moon kind of look like M's) Anyway for the Teapot Tuesday we are going to Colorado up in the hills of Black Hawk. Miss Blanca White is trying to show her fuddy duddy husband just how cool color is. I mean, they are in colorful Colorado after all. Duh. For more of the story please go here for more info. Then read further about my card......
Today my head is stuffy and throat sore so I apologize for this barely par card. I tried to show both sides in this battle between DH & DW. That's is why half my card is black and white and the other side lot's of colors.
My bg panel I masked it sponged on all the colors using a wavy stencil from the day before. Reversed and did the black side. Stamped and eb the stars and swirling heart things using different colored ep.
Tried something new. You really need to see this IRL and up close. I put on this two step crackle stuff. The crackles are rather small but look cool.
Punched out a circle for my two sided moon. Drew on the M's for bats or maybe Mothermarks initials.
Stamped the WS house, tweaked it a little to make a teapot. Colored it with copics.
Stamped two pumpkins. Colored one orange and one black with re-inkers. Versa marked and clear ep. Cut out.
Put everything on a white card added the dots with colored sharpies. Well, must go try and blow my plugged nose. I have chicken soup on the stove. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.....TFL :0)

do you honestly think I can figure this one out? Yikes, look at what you did despite the fact that you're over there fighting for your life! Oh, you'd better get better like yesterday. do you want to be sick when we get together with Bertie, now do you? what a fantastic card this is, my friend. Even though I cant understand how you crafted it, I can still appreciate it! Triple gold star for this one, Russian Satellite spy!

Hey Cathy, so sorry you are not feeling well! But the stingy me is secretly so happy you were able to play because look at this card!!! What a very creative card. I love that you always create the most incredible cards completing matching the story's theme! You rock girlfriend!
Leave it to you to satisfy both the White's taste in decorating! And your M-Bats are the perfect backdrop to your teapot house! I love the detail!
Thanks for making me feel missed! You do good when you are sick, but don't keep getting sick, k?

Barely par card? It must be because your head is stuffy that you don`t see this for what it is! I love your take on this teaparty card and think it brilliant that you divided the house so to speak. A high point in my day is to check and see what you have made each day! Feel better real soon! Hugs!
