WooHoo it's Tickle a Teapotter time and Sabrina has given us some fun challenge alternatives, I have chosen apples!
Here we have Chloe and Ollie at a twilight market. They might look vaguely familiar, back in August the Teapotters went to a nighttime Farmers Market and last month they went camping with Katie and Carrie. I couldn't resist doing one more scene with a night sky and moon.
Chloe and Ollie started out life as a Sassy Cheryl digi image, complete with the hills, trees, path, fruit stand and dog, how good is that for $4
Everything is coloured with Prismacolour Pencils and Zest-It pencil blend. I added highlights with Copic markers. Because the pencils are waxy, the Copics sort of skim across the top, they don't actually blend in.
I fussy cut the top section of the image and then placed it on black cardstock with a silvery moon and Stickles. The Teapotter who receives this can foof out the trees and Chloe and Ollies heads to give it a 3D look as they are not stuck down.
I extended the fruit stand, which in hindsight probably wasn't a good thing. We shall pretend that Rover is jumping up for an apple. The closer I look at Rover, he reminds me more of a koala than a dog and it looks like Ollie is about to rip his little head off.....oh well, it is Halloween.
Thank you for looking and I wish you a happy, inky week.

There you are with your 3-D glasses on with color and style and imagination. Foof? Never heard the word, but totally get it. Being Halloween and all, it is a bit spooky to think these adorable children are selling apples at night. But looking at the abundance of fruit on the trees, it's obviously a bumper crop calling for a 24/7 sale. A bushel of fun!
You do work magic with your Prismas, Susie. I always love your scenes you create, and I love this one too. Adorable! Some lucky tea potter, whoever gets this tickle!

Oh Susie, I just love it when you create a scene! I love the nighttime trick or treater dog/bear it’s his costume right? Even if it wasn’t Halloween that little fella is adorable. I’ve never done a night scene, maybe one day. I’m glad to see your scene back again. Keep em’ coming.

Oh my, sis! You are so adorable and amazing, and I just love this scene and your coloring! Hehe! What fun to read your description and how you bring all these images to real life for us -- and I don't think this puppy looks at all like a koala bear, and those apples look good enough to eat! Yummy! So which one is you and which is one me? LOL! This will be such a joy for the special person who receives it, and I get the "foofing" of the trees and the girls' heads. I actually put some cotton in the loops of a bow I sent a card to, and she was delighted to see how well the bow survived! So now I may have to try it transatlantically! LOL! Love you, sweet sis! Always yours....xoxo

LOL - you're right, Rover does look a little like a koala, but it certainly doesn't look as if Ollie is about to rip his head off. I'm so happy you included a moon - when I was contemplating coming in disguise, I went and looked at your last two moons (thinking it would work with my cityscape, I was thinking of Moonstruck), but I knew I wouldn't know where to start to create it. I love your orchard full of apples. We had about a dozen apple trees in the garden when I was a kid, and I find bought apples very disappointing. So fresh-picked from the tree and sold by Ollie and Chloe - perfection!
