MMTPT911 Unsupervised
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Falcon Bertille

 For this week's Tea Party we are making weird and funny cards for our own Ann (jdmommy). This was such a fun challenge that it inspired me to make two cards. This is the second one.

A while back, a fellow Tea Potter sent me some humorous sentiments in our monthly card exchange, and this challenge seemed like the perfect opportunity to use them.

The lady kissing an octopus came from an ephemera book filled with images of surreal people. And I confess, until this challenge, I was unsure how I would ever use it. But, when paired with this sentiment, it works perfectly.

The actual construction of the card was very simple. I fussy cut the main image. Then I paired it with some paper that matched the colors in the image, and also had a pattern resembling bubbles. Lastly, I added the sentiment, before adhering the whole thing to a turquoise card base.

I admit that this card may be more "weird" than "goofy", but I hope it makes Ann smile.

I think this is great. And how fun that you actually got to use an image you thought you might never use?! That's why we crafters never throw anything away! Right?

Your ephemera image does work perfectly with the sentiment - and your background DP is great. The image gives me something of a Dr Who vibe!

I think not only will this card make Anne smile, it just might make her laugh out loud! You really did hit "weird" and "funny" on the head with this creative card!

While I would never kiss an octopus, I love them after reading Remarkably Bright Creatured and following the Octopus Whisperer on TikTok. This is a very fun card and Anne will enjoy it. You are so creative, Katy. Hugz

Oh, this was the perfect time to use that sentiment and image. Yay!! Reminds me of a mermaid show I used to watch and something would happen to them when the moon was full.

Perfect sentiment for this wild and goofy image, and your colorful full moons in the background add to the overall scene.
