Batman's been SO busy taking care of his elderly aunt. Ms. Felisha Batisha is 42,000 years old and frankly my dear, she's been driving Batman a little batty. To top it off, Alfred, Batman's trusty butler and assistant caregiver up and retired! Lucky for Batman, along came a rather distinguished gentleman looking for employment. Batman hired Rob (an out of work former interior designer) on the spot, and Hocus Pocus (oops that's so last week) ZAP! POW! ZOWIE! Rob has remodeled the batcave into a lovely, fragrant, cozy hole in the wall. He even transformed Gregory the Guard Bat into a satin bow so as not to frighten Aunt Felicia. Just in time too, as Felisha's sister, Aunt BeBatrice is arriving soon to check up on things. Not to worry... Rob is standing at the batcave entrance, ready to offer a spot of iced tea, slightly spiked to enhance the inspection.
If you think I've gone batty (and you might be right), you can get the rest of the story at the Teapot Tuesday challenge post.
Rob was a coloring page I downloaded. He was colored with Copics, cut out and glued to an embossed layer of black cardstock. The flowers were first painted with craft white ink, using a blender pen, then painted with azure Smooch. The stems, batcave and grass were colored with Prismacolor pencils, and the centers of the flowers hit with a dot of yellow Stickles.
