Happy Thursday, everyone. It's time to use it with the WT. ravengirl issued a Fruit! challenge and referenced Roald Dahls' book James and the Giant Peach. I am bringing out my tutti fruity gals for this one.
I absolutely love the snarky humor of the original illustrator, J Wright. Stamps Happen must have licensed Wright's work sometime in the distance past. My fruit for the WT is cherries. On a hat, on the table, in the drinks they are toasting with...and even a few cherries as a focal at the top of my card.
I used Copics to color these seriously stylish friends. Glossy Accents for the martini glasses and eye glasses. A bit of Washi tape the the top to conceal the join. A tiny sparkly mod pink heart (a gift from tessaduck), vintage velvet trim, and a few sequins.
So just in case the snark is hard to read, it goes:
We've finally reach the
stage in life where
we no longer need man...
...because we
can't remember what
they're for.
Happy Birthday!
Thanks for visiting, I appreciate your comments. And whether you're enjoying a luscious peach, fruit flavored Skittles, or a fro yo sundae, have a flavorful day~o.

Cherries galore! I love her hat and the earrings with cherries...almost said cheeries. Ha Fun Washi tape, too.

Not an illustrator I am familiar with, I'll have to check that out. Cherries all over are certainly perfect for the challenge... though I think I'd prefer an olive in mine, please ;-).

I think I fit right in with these ladies! I don't have cherry earrings but do have a very dangly set of cranberries that come out at Christmas. ...the martinis can come out at any time though. :-) Love the art work and the sentiment! Super card!
