Yahoooooooo! ItÂ’s Tuesday which means weÂ’re off and runninÂ’ to da MuddermarkÂ’s tea party at Teapot Tuesday. This week a dragon called Derek is flyinÂ’ us on his wings to RapunzelÂ’s castle.
You can git the full story from da Muddermark here in the Teapot Tuesday forum so ya can foller along with the story.
Long story short: bring some juicy gossip to RapunzelÂ’s new hair cuttinÂ’ parler called Classy Castle Cuts to help spur on her new bizness. Even her hunk-a-burninÂ’ love, Prince Rahier, is gittinÂ’ in on the goinÂ’s on to hep out.
The juicy gossip IÂ’m bringinÂ’ to this shindig is the fact that Gertie (aka da Muddermark) is quite a klutz. Even though Rapunzel is her good friend, word on the street is that Gertie is sick and tired of RapunzelÂ’s hair dragginÂ’ all over the place makinÂ’ her always trip and fall. I tends to think Gertie is jes jealous of RapunzelÂ’s long, golden, plaited hair. I gotÂ’s it on good account that Gertie is hidinÂ’ a pair of shears in her jacket with full intent of cutting RapunzelÂ’s hair. Well, if she does that, poor Raphier ainÂ’t gots no way to climb up RapunzelÂ’s castle wall. Therefore, I, Bertie, hatinÂ’ to see lovers thwarted in their attempts to be together, grew this purty foliage along RapunzelÂ’s castle wall so that Raphier kin make his way to her should Gertie be successful in her hair cuttinÂ’ attempt.
Oh, and another tidbit of gossip, I heard that jaydekay has been scrapinÂ’ the pond scum from the moat will full intent of addinÂ’ the scum to todayÂ’s tea, claiminÂ’ it has powerful anti-oxidants fer makinÂ’ us all healthyÂ….sumpinÂ’ called steamy tea-grogÂ…..right. I, Bertie, ainÂ’t no fool. IffinÂ’ she tries to git me to drink that stuff, IÂ’m flinginÂ’ it.
I shore hope ya'll consider comin' along to the tea party today!
Iffin' yer wantin' the details on how I made this hare card:
1. stamped foliage in versamark onto glossy cardstock
2. heat embossed with clear embossing powder
3. sponged inks
4. stamped words
5. stamped another foliage onto whisper white with certainly celery, old olive, barely banana; fussy cut and popped up on dimensionals
6. used brick wall technique from last week's technique challenge. Not sure I did it right, but had fun tryin'!!!

This is so beautiful, Charlene....er....Bertie. (I may never get used to that name for you). I'm sure the foliage on the castle wall will surely help Rahier get to the top. Poor Rapunzel just can't get a break.

I couldn't tell you if you did the technique right, but even if you didn't it's stunning. The brickwall technique just goes with this challenge so well.
So glad to see you both at the party this week.
