WooHoo it is Tickle a Teapotter time and we are celebrating harvest season and having a Farmer's Market....not just any old market...Jan (aka Heartsong47, aka my de mama after Jan adopted me as a mature aged orphan several years ago during a Mothers Day challenge), I digress, Jan has sent us to the Farmers Market at Kneesaknockin, Saskatchewan, or as the locals call it, Sask.
Here we have young Ted and his sister Daisy digging up their produce the night before the market. Thank goodness there was a full moon and lots of stars!
Ted and Daisy (aka Noah and Sally by Sassy Cheryl) are two separate digi images printed together at 100%, on smooth white cardstock. This layout is actually Plan B, because I mucked up the sky on my original panel. After taking an eternity to do the grass, there was no way I was going to mow it and start again. Plan B involved cutting the sky off and fussy cutting the top 2/3rds of the images.
I had been watching a story on TV about the eclipse, hence the idea for the night sky background. Only the bottom third of the panel is adhered to the black panel. It has a good 3D feel in real life.
I had coloured Ted's hair really, really badly, so I have given him a full head and neck transplant. When I print up digi images, I always do extras on photo copy paper and add them to my colouring folder. I quickly coloured up a new head (and the polo neck of his jumper as that was a clean attachment area) and stuck it over the top of his original cardstock head and neck. Because it is just copy paper and a glue stick, you can't even see where it is attached.
I added a few rhinestones and lots of silver Stickles for the stars, the moon was done with a silver ink pad and a circle stencil. The grass is coloured with Prismacolour pencils. The kids are a combination of coloured pencils first, followed by Copics. The pumpkin was done with a Copic marker.
Thanks so much for looking, I had a heap of fun making this knowing it is going to a fellow Teapotter.

I knew I kept forgetting to come back and take another look at this and read it again. The rhinestone stars are wow. It makes me think of Linus sitting out in the pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear - he was always disappointed but certainly whoever receives this will be thrilled.

Ooh, what a joy! Sis, this is fabulous, and I agree with Sabrina - I LOVE reading your descriptions and how you've managed to "revive" the "kids" and other characters...always make me giggle and smile (which I need and love!). Such sweethearts, and what a fabulous scene! You are such a JOY! Love you to bits! xoxo

Yikes! A head and neck transplant? Well, he seems to have endured that really well. You're quite the surgeon. Susie, your card is too cute...loving that pumpkin and the wonderful night sky.
