Whoohoo!!! Da Mudder asked me to make a sample card for her Teapot Tuesday Challenge...I am doubly excited cause she is featuring a teapot from here in Texas!!! A while back we were driving to Houston and drove by a huge water tank thingy that someone had made into a giant teapot. Don't ya know I yelled for my DH to STOP THE CAR...he thought I was having some kind of an attack!!! Anyway, I got the pictures and sent them to Cindy...I just knew she would have the same attack I had...LOL!!! Anyway....here is the link to the Teapot Tueday Challenge...be sure to check out the story and the destination for this weeks cards!!!
My card features the girls from Petticoat Junction...Penelope, Blossom, and Bea....The Penny Black image was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, embossed with clear ep, and watercolored with Tombow markers. The little flowers on the hats were popped up and sewing and piercing was done around the edges. Lace, felt flowers, button, and a scalloped border finish it off.
Thanks for looking and be sure to gather up all your petticoats, bloomers, and tea and come to the party!!!!

Oh, these girls are so sweet, I can tell they will be a hit at the tea party today. You have colored them so beautifully. I can see they brought lots of flowers so in the front door they go.
How neat for you to have seen this water tower and gotten a picture of it for da mudder.

I don't remember the girls from Petticoat Junction being quite this young! hehe Joan what a delightful trio of darling little girls all dressed up in with their petticoats on. You colored them ever so well. Love the teapot you shared with the Mudder that got her started on this Petticoat Junction theme. Awesome card, awesome party. Joan, you done good. TFS :0)
