WooHoo it's Teapot time again and being the end of the month we get to tickle each other. The story this week is about Miss Jett Setter and her new Travel Agency in Teapotterville. We Teapotters, all 42,000 of us, are suggesting our favourite holiday destinations.
The Great Barrier Reef was mentioned in the story this week and that is where we find young Tilly. Sadly she had a nasty encounter with some coral whilst snorkalling. Her little legs have been stitched up, but she needs to rest for a while. So here she is (still not looking very happy) floating around in the resorts swimming pool.
If you look closely Tilly is starting to get a bit too much sun. I'm not sure if her legs are sunburnt or that her stitches are getting infected.
About the card, this is a stair step fold card (you didn't see that coming hey). I made the pool water by tearing teaxtured paper. Same thing was done for the palm tree trunk and sand. Tilly started out life as a Sassy Cheryl digi stamp. The floating tyre is red dp, white spots are handdrawn and outlined with a black micron pen. Tillys body and hair is with copics, the rest is paper pieced. I'm still struggling with coulouring hair, hopefully the teapot recipient can give Tilly a new hairdo.
The fence is an IO die, I hand-made the umbrella, palm tree, beach bag and towel with dp and cardstock. Liquid pearls were used on the sunglasses and stickles for nail polish.
Thank you for looking and have a great week everyone.
