This is Tickle a Teapotter Tuesday & here is my card.
Our story involves Miss Geneva, a seamstress of world acclaim. She is busy creating one-of-a-kind black & white fashions for the upcoming ValentineÂ’s Day Ball. We are to bring cards with black & white & a touch of another color. My card is a double z fold card.
The front of the card features one of Miss GenevaÂ’s creations; a party frock with a black & white dotted bodice, a white skirt with a black lace overlay & a burgundy red velvet sash. Paper pieced.
The inside of the card shows Miss Geneva’s shop including her psychotic parrot, Bernadine. I know we were not supposed to bring Bernadine so I guess it’s the back door for me. I just couldn’t resist. It’s hard to see in the photo, but the sign around Bernadine’s neck says “free”. I guess poor, harried & stressed Miss Geneva has finally had it with that bird. Perhaps after the stress of this week is over she’ll reconsider & decide to keep Bernadine.
My card will be going out to a fellow teapotter. Hope she enjoys it.

wow...that is a beautifully designed gown...certainly to be a hit on the dance floor...and who knows, maybe someone will feel sorry for Bernadine and take her before you get to the back door......this is stunning and so glad you could come to the party this week

A beautiful card and beautiful ball dress! I love the mix of the polka dotted bodice with the lace skirt, and the burgundy sash completes the outfit! It's going to be a beautiful ball!
