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.

Oh Vicki! Wowza...this card is wonderful! Its wonderful in this picture, but its even more wonderful up close and personal! It got to me in perfect condition! No damage by the mail! Whoo hoo!
You put so much work into this! I so love it...and it fits the challenge so well! The first thing I did was run my finger across the fancy black dress...I honetly thought it was fabric lace! Tee hee! And then i pulled the bow and peered inside! I so love this!
Thanks so much for making this card mine! What a spoiled teapotter I am! Thanks from the bottom of my heart...Anyone who's a teapotter, knows what it is to be one, someone who does for others during a time when they need a little help....thanks so much for that! Love ya girl!!!
