WooHoo it is Tickle a Teapotter time and we are helping Jacko and IndigoBlu-Magenta from Whykickamoocow, choose a Disney theme for their wedding. I guess it was a no-brainer that I would choose Fantasyland.
Here we have Penny out for an evening stroll. She recently learnt to whistle `outwards' and couldn't be happier with herself. I vividly remember my brothers trying to teach me to whistle properly. To this day I can only whistle `inwards'.
Now about my card...no surprises that this was done with Distress Inks and 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 where needed).
I started at the bottom and created the grass area, followed by the moon. The purple area was done next by tilting the foam blending tool. The night sky was done last. I wanted an aged night-time look so I very gently rubbed a pre-stained Walnut Stain foam blending tool over the background.
To work out the positioning of the house and Penny, I placed acetate stamped images over the background. Once I was happy with the layout, I used Memento Luxe ink and MISTI, I stamped Penny about 10 times and the house 3 times.
Prismacolour pencils are a dream to use over the top of distress inks. It saves having to do a lot of masking. I hand drew some cobblestones, added a garden, some glitter and finished with a doodled border.
Thank you for looking and I hope you get time to play. Have a happy, inky week.

Wow Susie this is fabulous!!! You are truly talented and I love the story about Penny. You see I can only whistle inwards too. My dad and his sister were beautiful whistlers.
I have a vivid memory of the two of them whistling in harmony " I give to you and you give to me true love" at a family party.
My dad also tried to teach me. I also envy people that can put their fingers in their mouths and whistle loudly. Once again Gorgeous!!! Into my favorites!!

It's me, me, me...lucky gurl I yam! Penny arrived at her new home and she has settled all snug in the PNW. Of course the depth so much more in my hand. A treasure.
