iT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER TEAPOT TUESDAY CHALLENGE THAT'S MY CHESTER! THE JESTER TESTER! WATCH OUT! HIS MOOD'S ABOUT TO FESTER
This week our destination is Myersville, Maryland. Jake is 13 years old who has had many surgeries since his birth. He's a happy, fun loving young fellow that has had too many surgeries in his young life. Jake just celebrated his 13th birthday on July 8th and surgery number 17 is on the schedule. His summer will be spent recovering and he will need some happy mail.
I found my Jester on line - from a colouring page site. Coloured with Tombow markers and cut out. I had the striped dp in my stash - perfect for my card - almost exactly like on the teapot. I coloured the large polka dot embossing folder dots with a black marker and embossed on white cardstock to get the polka dot bg. Cut out the top note in mustard and black. Sponged around the mustard panel. Cut out the computer generated sentiment with spellbinders die. Used my large scalloped border punch. Added the silver brads, stars and cording. Sewed around the edges. Added Tinsel Stickles to his hat, mask and shoes and around the Knock Knock sentiment. Chester the Jester is popped up as well and the sentiment.
Inside the card says
"Who's there,
JESTER!
Jester who?
Jester minute,
I'm trying to find my YoYo!"
I will put this in this month's Fan Club gallery -
"Star Spangled" - theme is Stars, Stripes and polka dots -- my card has all three.
Thanks for looking.
Hugs. Pat

------------------------------ Phyllis Young at heart, slightly older in other parts. We really never grow up, we just learn how to act in public!! What if you woke up today with only what you had thanked God for yesterday??
Leave it to you to be able to find the perfect image, sew on a jester card, and combine challenges! You da teapotter Pat! OMG! I love the paper you had on hand, you are right, its perfect! And the black is perfect with the color, very rich looking! Love that silver twine, its so...so.....jestery!
Oh, by the way, your Yo Yo is under the table, a teapotter tripped on it, landed face first in frosting on the cake and everybody was giggling so hard, we all forgot about the yo yo! Go figure!
