This is Rapunzels Ugly step wench, barfelda! She decided that she was going to get in on the action of the knights being trapped all in one place. She swooped some butterflies from the garden and stuck them in her hair, you see, Rapunzel was SO embarrassed to call Barfelda her sister that she forbid her to come to her Salon opening as THAT would be food for fotter...Imagine the gorgeous Rapunzel with a sister like Barfelda! AS IF!!!!!
*****************
I have always loved punch art and have never tried it so this weeks teapot challenge THIS IMAGE popped into my head and of course I could NOT get it to go away to make a borgeous card like our hostess, so here I sit, a few hours after it was posted and am posting my card, now mind you I am SICK tomorrow... LOL I HAVE to get caught up on my housework as my wicked stepmother/hubby will surely beat me if I dont! LOL
SO, I inked up some glossy paper that I cut out with nesties in 3 sizes with T!M Holtz ink of Butterscotch and Latte, and then ran that through the cuttlebug at different angles. I punched out some lips and eyeballs. added a glitter dot to each "ear" (heart punch cut in half) and smudged some memento Angel kiss onto her cheeks. Those butterflies I JUST bought TODAY no idea what I was going to do with them but had to have them...rest assured they will be rescued from this card in just a minute... LMAO
Thanks for entertaining me with this one!!!! ;)

Oh How great! at first I thought she had her hair cut at the new salon... I hear there is a new hairdresser there.. a distant cousin or something! and maybe this was a hat to cover up the mistakes.. hee.
I love your wonderful creativity and your great story! fantastic!

Looks to me as if those butterflies are a bit confused - surely that's a beehive hairdo!!! Well done - I was hoping that I might get a card done before work today, but not a chance!! Way to go with your first go at punch art - look forward to seeing you produce more creations.

This is not my comment:
Excuse me....umm....Kelli....excuse me.....you do know our job in coming here was to get the locals to partake in the castle hair salon, you know that right? Duh....I now you are a new teapotter and all but you brought Barfelda? Barfelda, Kelli???
She's so scary the locals will never set foot in the castle but it does warm my heart that we might be involved in a family get together between two loving sisters!
Hey, wait a minute! She's scary right? I gotta idear, keep her hidden and when the teapotters get stuck in the moat in the boat, we can bring her out to scare the monsters away! Yah, let's do that! Okay, she can stay! Snort!

Rut roh! Me thinks KelliJo is gonna be hanging with the likes of Gertie, Bertie, Maxie and CurlyMae.
Note to self: Start a thread in TPT listing Teapotters and their altered ego names!!
Okay, back to the card! OMG! This is so hysterical. If I were Rapunzel, I would be so embarrassed. She is absolutely funny! What a creative, fun, and downright histerical card! Who ya gonna send this to? Huh Kelli? Who ya gonna send this to??? Yikes! I think we are in for a crazy Tuesday!

OMG!! this is just hysterical...I'm laughing myself silly here...very creative
Rut-roh....CurlyMae has a soft spot for the family black sheeps..she's out in the woods around the castle drumming up support in case Rapunzel refuses to let Barfelda in...She thinks that Rapunzel would be smarter to find a knight from a low income family, give him a little land at the far end of her vast kingdom, and marry Barfelda to him....See; Barfelda will be gone, far end of kingdom will be guarded and the land stays in the family.....Yep, that solves it....giggle...giggle..

Poor Barfelda, she has always been the one people shunned, but she is the sweetest of them all you know. Don't know how many knights she saved from bordedom in that big ol' castle, while her sis playes "nicey" to everyone. Barfelda has the greatest talent for cutting hair, the fact that she doesn't have any is probably why she studied so hard at the beauty salon school. And you know she has a natural talent for any head of hair. Want gossip, she is the one behind Dolly Parton's famous wigs. HA! Bet you didn't know that huh!
Love your beautiful Barfelda Kelli, she is the sweetest of all. I love her lips and her fancy do on top her head. How clever to have made such a fancy headwrap! TFS and fun to see a new face at the teapot.

Beehive is BACK! Way, way way, in the back. Maybe she can stay in the back washing the towels and sweeping...no that wouldn't be nice. She will just have to be included somehow 'cause the more the merrier, right? And what knight could resist those luscious lips??
