Curt was afraid that the Teapot Gallery would be “lacking” color. Now don’t get him wrong, he knew there would still be some very beautiful cards, but not a lot of color. SO he knew he had his job cut out for him. Plus, if he made a little money on the side so be it. hehe……..confused???? Go here to see what I’m talking about……back to my card….
When my sister and I were growing up, if we had a party Dad always made sure there was lots of cake and ice cream. Curt is the same way. He heard there might not be enough cake for all the Teapotters so once again he decided to take it upon himself and just bake! bake! bake!
Always being in style, he first needed just the right outfit of a baker. So he made his colorful apron with the chevron bottom border, inspired by one of my sisterÂ’s Pinterest boards, and a baker hat which btw had to be bent to fit on this card! hehe He also made extras! So get you wallets out cause there will be a sale after the wedding. hehe
After making the delicious wedding cakes he proceeded to frost them with very colorful frosting. IsnÂ’t it funny how the heart topping looks like it could be his mouth. Hope he doesnÂ’t eat it! If the teapotters donÂ’t eat all his cakes they too will be for sale. Heck, we might have us a cake walk! Remember those???
Enough about Curt and his shenanigans, here is what I did…..for the colorful bg, I took glossy cs and dropped various alcohol inks on top moving them around with a straw and dauber. Then took the blending solution and blended. Stamped, that’s right, stamped the little love birds. After all this is supposed to be a “wedding” card. Oh, the cake was stamped too. Imagine that. Curt as usual was hand drawn.
Cut Curt out and put on my colorful bg popping up his bent bakers hat and tail. Put this on a gold card adding the black dots and checkered corners.
I know it is the backdoor for Curt and me for bring all this color. But he or we just couldnÂ’t help it! hehe Have a great Tuesday All! Â….TFL :0)Â….forgot, coloring on Curt was done with copics.
Hi Sis! Hi NC Sis!
P.S. Congrats to the wedding couple and their families!

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!!! I knew that I could count on you to bring on the color! I love your brilliant BG, Curt's phenomenal apron (I'll take three!) and of course da cow himself. Hey, the heart on his cake does look like kissy lips on Curt. And stamping? Stamping? You went all out on this card. Sara and Dave will surely treasure their own Mutnik original as a wedding gift. Hugz...I secretly stashed some special cookies for you both at the side door!

Curt may be black and white, but he sure knows how to be the colorful character at this wedding - not to miss another chance at being an "extramanure", I know thats why he thought to bring his own special brand of baking - spread the word - Curt's the BAKER of the HERD!!
Thanks for bringing some colorful fun, Cathy!!
