We're having another Tea Party for our friend John Loffredo this week. He is home recovering after a fall and feeling lonely after losing his wife last year. I hope this card makes him smile and maybe laugh a little. Jacqueline has challenged us to make something move on our cards for John, a retired engineer. I decided to get out my Studio Katia Slider Tag Die. I went looking for a funny joke to include in it and found this one. So I searched my stamps for books and found this Waffle Flower set that hadn't seen ink yet. I stamped the elephant with a pipe and glasses for an intellectual look as he reads his book. This Slider Tag Die is so easy to use and is so fun, but every time I take it out, I have to Youtube it just to refresh how it goes. I've also combined this challenge with Mary's colors for this week. Not a lot of "Flirty Flamingo" in this card for John, but the elephant does have pink cheeks and some pink in the ears.
