Polly has organised a fun Teaparty for our very own Teapotter Anne aka jdmommy. Humour is the order of the day.
Anne loves red, so of course the school swim suits for the penguins of St Trinians had to be red.
This sentiment came with a cute set of bathing beauties which haven't seen ink yet, but I think I will be storing this quote with my penguins from now on.
The background is from my stash, the girls were all stamped several times thanks to the magic of my MISTI. I coloured them with Spectrum Noir markers before fussy cutting.
I tried to create surf with model paste and glitter. I rather liked the wobbly effect so I applied ds tape roughly in line with their feet instead of across the bottom of the panel. Their bodies are not fully adhered either, Anne will be able to foof up the left side of each girl.
No words are needed to describe Betty, she's a stunner hey! I laughed as this card was coming together, I hope Anne gets a good chuckle out of it too.
Thanks very much for looking and I hope you get to send some Teapotter sunshine this week.

The hat is perfect....as are all the red bathing suits (esp that polka dot bikini that Betty's sporting)...I LOVE the waves and the expressions on their faces are priceless. Anne is going to go nuts when she opens this....AMAZING!

Not just smiling here....laughing outloud!!!!! This is the best, Susie. I sure appreciate your shading ability on the gals. Love them all, and the added navel gem is perfect. Anne will adore this card. TFS
Oh my!!! You are going to make Anne laugh and I bet she leaves the card up all year just like I did! This is such a hoot! Oh my, what you can do with shading! Don't we all know someone who thinks the hat is what is too much! LOL Such a hoot! Some cards you wish you could hit the favorite button a dozen times. This is one of those cards.

Oh my gosh, I laughed out loud at this. No one but you could have created these bathing beauties! Your surf is genius and although I have no clue how you created that- just keep on keeping on!

Betty is a hoot...somehow how the hat changes her expression so that it looks as if she's eyeing up the competition. And maybe a bit disgruntled that they are a bit bustier than she is, though the bikini has a great slimming effect. The surf looks great...And I can believe that was a real sentiment, not something you printed yourself.

If I were Anne, I would treasure this card forever. My favorite thing about bikini penguins is always their belly jewelry. What hip little things. Haha! Love that fabulous texture at the bottom and I don't think the hat's too much...

I think this card would make me chuckle every time I looked at it. How fabulous is that water, and those red swim suits would steal any runway for those with eyes for fashion!!! You have stolen the show with this one, Susie!!
