Bertie and I had a rough day at work today. We got so mad at one point, we just wanted to spit nails. Instead, we came home and found some peace and relaxation in our stampin' room and thought it best to hook up with our teaparty lovin' friends who always make us smile and make the day brighter.
I know some of the tea partiers probably thought Bertie would be flingin' 42,000 pencils in honor of today's adventure (get the full story here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers, but we decided to go a different direction. We thought it might be fun to have a watermelon and cherry seed spittin' contest on the back of the bus. Our target? Why, that big ol' belly on Gus the bus driver! First one to get 42,000 seeds stuck to his belly wins the overstock supply of pencils that Lorraine mistakenly ordered for her school. Poor Lorraine. I bet those kids have been drivin' her crazy.
The cherry image was stamped, colored with Copic marker, cut out and Crystal Effects applied for their shine. The watermelon slices were made with circle punches; the seeds were edges I cut off of the middle flower from the boho blossoms punch.
I'm getting low on some of my favorite dp with these cherries, so I cut out a 1/4" frame to adhere to my red cardstock to help preserve some of it in my supply.
Mudder? Is that you? OMG, you're here? Woo-hoo! Hey, I done heard that Patricia Rose done brung us some special tea. I shore could use some 'bout now. Know what else? I always thought it'd be fun to drive a school bus; can I kick Gus outta his seat and drive it for a while? Huh? Pretty please with.....wait for it.....a CHERRY on top?!?!?
