WooHoo it's Tickle a Teapotter time and Sandy has given us a terrific tale of Katie and her cousin Carrie. Carrie was all for 'glamping' with all the bells and whistles for the Millennials, while Katie wanted to get back to the basics.
Katie went through the family album and found this happy snap of them settling in under the stars at the Teapotterville Caravan Park. It wasn't really a caravan park, it was just Katie's backyard but they loved setting up the tents for sleepovers! We used to do this as kids during the school holidays - loved it!!
I recently made a Teapotter card where I completely mucked up the sky, so I cut the sky are out and turned it into a night scene. I have done the same here, but this time it wasn't due to a mistake, I actually wanted to do it like this. I tried stamping a face into the moon but I got a bit carried away with the silver ink and nothing was going to make an impression - not even Stazon!
All of the colouring was done with Prismacolour pencils and highlights were added using Copic markers. To take the 'new' bright look away and make it look 'old' but still bright, I gently swiped over the card with a walnut stain distress ink foam blending sponge, just using the ink that was already on it.
If there isn't enough colour on the blending tool, simply bang it on the distress ink pad, then scrub most of it off, leaving just enough to transfer a smidgen of colour.
Thanks so much for looking, I had a heap of fun making this, especially knowing it is going to a fellow Teapotter.

Susie, from the patchwork tents and adorable campers to that lovely full moon and night sky this is fabulous! Your coloring is marvelous, you've really mastered the colored pencil/marker technique. Some lucky teapotter will be tickled to bits!

How did I miss this terrific card? It is soooo cute and colorful. The patchwork tents and little girls are adorable, and tg at night sky turned out perfectly. The big silver moon looks amazing. Fantastic creation.
