I decided I could make a slightly zany card this week that still had kid appeal. Gullible Gill torpedoed into shore with such force he was catapulted up to the highest hill and landed in a basket. Now this was no ordinary basket, in happened to be on the patio of Sharkies Bar and Gill. He's barely recovered from the speed of it all (42,000 knots per hour) when who should appear but a waiter wanting to take his drink order. He is up to the gills in umbrella drinks, 42,000 to be exact. At this point he doesn't know or care where the Idaho brotherhood are and frankly they don't care much about him 'cause he's tanked!
This week the teapotters are sending their cards to an 8 year old who just received bone marrow transplants from his little sister. A brave pair!
The fish is stamped, everything is hand drawn and coloured with copics. The fish was perfect for adding a drink (done in vellum) and tiny umbrella and lime slice which nearly drove me to blindness!

How fun is this card (or should I say Cod). Looks like Gill is living large and loving life . . . not sure they'll ver get him back in the water. Love the fish and the vellum drink.

Rut roh! I was wondering where all the teapotters went! It seems Gullible Gill sent them a tweet about his new happy place and the teapotters skeedaddled up the hill! Who'd a thunk they would drop their teapots, tea cups and pinky's held high, to party with Gill at Sharkies Bar and Gill! Leave it to Gill to end up here! I heard all the patrons at the bar are slipping $1,00 bills in his gills! He's makin' so much money he can pay off the fisherman when they come lookin for the basket, er....creel or whatever that new word I learned was! I am old, I can't remember 5 seconds ago when I read about it! Snort!
OMG! I am so glad that I just have to duplicate the teapot cuz I could never come up with something so creative and fun! Giggle! I love, love, love this! You are another one of *those*.....that can pretty much draw what they need and don't have! This card rocks and I gotta tell you, its gonna be loved by little Dante! Maybe Sharkies will do a kids night out -no alcohol! - for Dante and his sis....... cuz they would love the little umbrellas!
