Things are looking kind of crazy in the gallery. Must be Teapot Tuesday. Today we are going to Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. We are investigating an apple orchard. For more details go here ......otherwise keep reading......I know why Annie keeps falling on her fannie!.........
You see they grow some mighty large apples in that orchard......which means they have some mighty large worms! You know what worms do after eating large apples don't ya?......POOP! That's right, I said it. Worms poop. Annie forgot her glasses and can't see the piles of black stuff SO she keeps slipping on the worm poop! Makes sense, don't it? hehe
For my card, I tweaked WS Anne Wight's cowgirl a little. I rearrange her head and legs.....after all she fell down! lol
Let me back up a little, this is how the card started. I bought a new apple stencil, dry eb it on a white cs panel, then doodled around it. Added the Large happy worm with, wait....are those Annie's glasses? Oh my, I think they are. Crazy worm. Anyway, drew the tree and stamped the leaves.
Added the hill and worm poop. Colored with copic markers, versa marked and clear ep. The large apple was sponged as was the sky.
Put Annie together on the ground popping up her head. Does this qualify for CAS this week? I added the little black apple in the corner. You see it used to be full of worms, see all the holes. Then it fell off and is shriveling away.
Well, don't tell Bertie about the worm poop or she'll be a flingin' it!.......TFL :0) I'll be back later, DD needs help hanging curtains.

EWWWW! Poor Annie, and I'm sure those worms popping out of the apples are a bit of a shock too. I love the coloring in here and the glasses on the worm is a riot.

Well this card and story takes the cake..."wormcakes" that is. You heard of cowpatties...so yeah, I knew you would get it.
I'm lolling (my teenage son told me to write that) my head off. I love the apple and worm, what you did with Anni and the little black stuff, but mostly that polka dot apple is hilarious. Wait 'till Cindy sees this. She is going to just have the biggest snort of a laugh I'm sure.
Always fun to see your creative and funny mind at work my friend. TFS

I think you have used the poop theme before on Teapot Tuesdays challenges. Me thinks, poop and tea and NOT a good mixture. Having said that.......this is totally outrageously clever in every single detail on this card. I love the story, the HUGE worm using Annie glasses (details I would never have thought of for sure), your awesome sky, Annie on the ground with her head popped up...wow....and the black polka dot apple for Mothermark. Boy do you ever know how to be her Favorite for today's challenge. Shane wants to write a book. I need you to do the illustrations!!! Very cool, sis.
hugs to all foreign and domestic sisters.....
