I made this card for today's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. This week for our tea party, we are heading to St. Lucia with Starlet O'Carrot and her sweetheart, Beaufer the Chauffeur! They are St. Lucia parrots, after all. However, first we are stopping off at the home of Ms. Eula Cousins in Philadelphia to celebrate her birthday. Starlet has been planning this secret birthday surprise for Ms. Eula for ages and finally let the teapotters in on the venue.
Actually Ms. Eula is a real person - Eula Cousins - who really lives in Philadelphia and she is for real celebrating her birthday soon! She is turning 108 on September 14 and we are sending her 42,000 birthday cards to help her celebrate this special occasion! Ms. Eula has a real parrot named Star and she loves roses!
I colored my parrot with Copic markers and Spica pens. The floral DP is from Prima Marketing (Strawberry Kisses Collection). I added some wrinkled silk ribbon (from Sharon's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store), a button and a sparkly gem to finish it.
See you soon in Philly! Gotta go drop this in the mail for Eula on the way!
