So, gotta tell you ......... before I hooked up with this tea party thing, I think I was pretty normal -whatever that is these days! Now, I swear I have become a looney tune! Cindy tells these tall tales
and, don't know about you, but I don't have "baseball" or "parrot" stamps - guess I'll be on the lookout though. I spend ages looking at on line images as I KNOW I can't find stamps I need in stores here...... I end up with the most bazaar images! When I saw this guy I KNEW I had to use him - I did capture about 50 other parrot's but it HAD to be this one! He makes me GIGGLE! I only hope that it makes Eula giggle too! I had a lovely, prissy parrot that was probably more appropriate but then, at 108 you've probably seen it all - but maybe not a parrot havin' a cocktail on the beach though?
So, here you have it! Beaufer went to St. Lucia a bit early to organize things for the BIG party! Eula and Starlet are not due in for another few hours so he thought he's catch a few rays and brighten up his feathers ..... and one little drinkie poo never hurt any parrot he knew! But, don't worry! He won't drink & drive - his brother is picking them up as Beaufer doesn't have an International Chauffer's licence!
Printed the image 3 times, cut out and popped up tree, feathers and hat. The flip flops are buttons and the sand is Flowersoft. Crystal Laquer on his glasses and drink and tiny little 3-D butterflies.

Totally awesome! You rocked this challenge. I'm still trying to work with stamps as that is my passion. Needless to say, I don't have baseball or parrot stamps either. I'm always adding to my stamp collection, trying to anticipate what I can use in Cindy's next crazy story.

OMG! You rocked this card! Nuthin' says party like a drink guzzling parrot in a hammock! I LOVE this image and your coloring and the 3D pop up make this perfect!

Love the fun loving parrot. He should get together with my "drinks like a fish" of 2 weeks ago and share umbrella drinks. I think the images that are downloaded are usually more fun than most stamps anyway. Great job.
