Oh-la-la! Teapotters Take Gay Paree....I stamped my Can-Can dancers in VersaFine Black Onyx and emobssed in clear ep. Colored the image with markers, stickled the ruffled petticoats and feathered chapeaus. Mounted on a Spellbinders rectangle on and put some Martha Stewart borders behind it. Decorated the envelope and VOILA!!
This is going to TICKLE A TEAPOTTER!!!

Ooh, la, la says it all about this card. I can almost hear the can can music to go with these beautifully colored dancers. A perfect card for today's challenge.

It seems like I read somewhere, at one time or another, that the Can Can was illegal to perform - because it showed - petticoats and legs - oooh!! The people that thought the Can Can might have been too risque in days of old - should be here today and take a walk down the street in South Beach in Florida. Your card is awesome, Phyllis - wonderful image and lovely envelope too!

Phyllis, what a fantastic image and you colored it so well. I knew you would do something special with this challenge.
BTW, I went to visit my MIL this past weekend (Nonie) and she really liked the pretty card you sent her - thanks so much!!!

I would have sworn that was a Toulouse-Lautrec poster, Phyllis; how much more Parisian could you get than this. Makes me feel as if I were in Montmartre right now.
