WooHoo it is Tickle a Teapotter time of the month and Carla has written a terrific story and given us a fun challenge for our teaparty. We Teapotters are to bring lots of hats to the party and bonus cookies for accessories.
Kylie Kardashian decided that a handbag and shoes would detract from here gorgeous new bikini. I searched the internet for a Carmen Miranda `bowl of fruit' hat...no luck, but I'm going to keep looking.
It is hard to tell if Gertie and Penny are in awe of being in the presence of Kylie Kardashian or if they are surprised that the region surrounding her downstairs lady bits needs some urgent attention!!
Now about the card, I started by placing the three girls in my MISTI. Gertie and Penny were stamped with Versafine Sepia, Kylie with Versafine onyx black. I then stamped them onto X-Press It Mask It using Ranger Archival.
This is a brilliant product. It is a low tack flexible masking film. You can use it over and over - I store the masks with the rubber stamp. It is super thin which makes it easy to work with.
After masking the girls, I coloured the grass and sky using the Smack & Squirt technique (smack distress ink pad onto al foil, squirt on water and using a foam blending tool, scrub the inky water onto the cardstock, add a bit more colour without adding water).
Leaving the masks in place I stamped on the tree trunk, leaves, sweet little flowers (RAK from Sabrina). Walnut stain distress ink was sponged around the edges followed by a doodled border using a fine micron pen.
All the foliage was stamped with Memento Luxe - Espresso Truffle. The colour is like a dull matt (almost) black, I didn't want a silhouette look, so this colour is a good option.
Once everything was nice and dry, I attached the panel to the card base and removed the masks. Gertie and Penny were coloured with pencils, Copics and paint. I drew Kylies bikini straight onto her body with coloured pencils and Copics, then scribbled a rough outline with a fine black pen. The girls hats are all courtesy of a free stamp set that came with a magazine (unfortunately name of mag and stamp are unknown). Stamp, colour and fussy cut hats. I then used the cool grey Copic C4 to outline the girls, this gives them a bit of a 3D look.
I finished off by adding some red stickles and white paint spots using Dylusions white paint and the pointy end of a paint brush. It is always hard for me to step away from these types of cards; it would be an understatement to say I had fun making this. Can't wait to find out where the girls are traveling to!!
Thank you for looking and I hope you have a happy, inky week.
NOTE: Katzelkraft stamps are unmounted red rubber, just use a school glue stick to adhere to MISTI, to change the stamps position just slide it to the correct place. Simply wipe MISTI and stamp with a baby wipe when you are finished.

OMG - don't tell me the Kardashian Girls are on their way to the Melbourne Cup. Kylie looks as though she may need to take something warmer to cover up otherwise she is likely to catch her death of cold - going on the crazy weather we are having. They definitely have the hats and feathers right for the big day. This is a lovely giggle of a card and description.
