For Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge, to make a card inspired by her awesome teapot and card seen on her blog here: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/
We are playing poker, today! I heard it and brought all the chips tucked in the canvas bag I brought, under the fruit salad so the bouncers wouldn't kick us out for illegal gambling....Mothermark used acryllic paint on HER awesome card...so I upped her one acryllic paint and added SOME CRACKLE paint...ON CHIPBOARD! And the seeds from purple grapes get in my teeth, I went with the seedless variety!

Oh... BINGO... I see... wink, wink... B-4, I-8. BEFORE the poker game continues, I have to confess... I ATE. I ate the banana for breakfast. I was hungry so... I guess I have to fold or something....

Miss Kelly, you've met your gamblin' match, girl. Likes I wrote to da Muddermark on her artsy fartsy card:
Well, I don't know where Kelly got the idea we wuz playin' poker and gamblin', but I'm with her. Git yer money out, Gertie. Better yet, git yer stampin' stuff out cuz I'm gonna win it all! And I'm takin' this cool artsy fartsy card and teapot, too. I'm bringun the watermelon so weez can all have a seed-spittin' contest. You win the prize for bein' an acrylic arteest painter, but I'm gonna win yer stampin' stuff!'
'Then I come in here and read all the piddly bettin' and I'm a-thinkin' 'AMATEURS!!' Watch out cuz Big Butt Bertie is in town, girl, and she's a-totin' the big guns. I'll see yer polar bear sticker/eyelets/sampler template and MariLynn's slightly used and later eaten nanner and raise with one-a them thar scorin-pal devices. It's jus the three of us since the rest of 'em are too skeered to even play, and when I win, I'm a-takin' yer cute card, too, cuz it is too darlin' for anyone else to own. I luv yer use of texture with the crackle paint and buttons. Ever so fetchin', it is!!

Well, I am not one little itsy bitsy worried about Big Butt Bertie! You must not have noticed that the gorilla is kicking butt in this poker game and guess who he works for! You don't think gorillas stamp do you? The pay off for him is a big load of bananas and I get all the stamping stuff bet so go on, raise each other, see this and see that....makes no difference to Muddermark!

What a creative gal your are Kelly! I just love the pear and apple, the grapes are too fine. Great idea to hide your chips too. I am not the gambling type but I do love to clean out the table if you know what I mean. LOL I love the inspiration you got here, colorful and so happy!
