Well this week I'm front door all the way baby for Mother Mark's teapot challenge.
The challenge was to make a birthday card forMiss Eula Cousins.
Starlet and her handome friend Beaufer have arrived at the party with Miss Eula and escorted her from the limo and into the party. They have seated themselves in front of the birthday cake, holding balloons and are just waiting for Miss Eula to blow out her candles. Starlet decided that she couldn't fit all 108 candles on the cake safely and since she didn't want the Phillie Phire Department to show up she just put a few candles on the jungle-themed chocolate cake.
The parrots are from Magnoila as is the jungle spray on the cake. The rest of it I drew by hand. Everything is coloured with copics.
Hope Miss Eula likes it and TFL.

How clever! I love your tree cake. It reminds me a bit of when I made a tower cake for someone and decorated it with little ivy leaves (sugar, not real ones). And the candles on top of the cake - so creative. Plus, after looking at ALL the cards in the gallery, I think your parrots have finally inspired me, and I might try and sneak some kookaburras in when I am back home later on...
TFS this delightful card, I love it.

OMG! Whoot! What a wonderful welcoming committee for Miss Eula! I am loving that wonderful little image and am quite happy to see them snugglin' up together after the ride down in the limo and their sometimes heated discussions on which way to turn, which short cut to take, which radio station to listen to! Snort!
What is it about the teapotters!!!! They all can draw!!! It's really not fair because I can't but hey, I enjoy their talent (you included) and will just deal with it! Snicker!
This is the funnest card for Ms. Eula! It's so the front door! Baby!!! I love that big ole tower of a birthday cake with all of the candles...I hear the Phire Department in Philly is really good......just in case!
Whoo Hoo! You rocked this challenge......after our cake can you play us a tune????

This is so cool. Your parrots are cute - I especially like the eyelashes and lipstick!!! And you even gave them a soft rope perch - how nice. What a great card. Miss Eula will love it.

OMG where to start? I adore the two parrots and your coloring is devine on them. That you have them sitting on a rope "post" is awesome and of course we have to have balloon toting parrots to Miss Eula's party! You drew the rest by hand? You ROCKED this challenge my dear!!!!
