Honestly...they MADE me! It all started last night after my sweet and thoughtful post about the RAKS I received from Tosh and Cammie! Wasn't I nice about their fabulous cards? Huh? Wasn't I?
Shortly after posting I got an email from Tosh , and she was daring me to make a card using kraft cardstock, since I said I was afraid of it, and had never made one. I simply said, "No way....can't do it." Then, after a LOT of badgering, she started calling me a big chicken! Can you believe it?????
This morning I got an email from Cammie challenging me (really kind of daring me) to make a kraft card. I am convinced that there was some collusion there, don't ya think?
So...........since they dared me, and Tosh called me a chicken, I made a "Kraft Chicken" card. At least, this was the closest thing I had to a chicken! LOL!
The bird/chicken image is from Inkadinkado and is called Squawk . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder.
The stamped image was colored using Tombow markers and a blender pen. I used my rectangle Nestabilities to frame the image.
The sentiment, also from Inkadinkado, is called Girl Time . I love that little stamp! I cut and embossed using my circle Nestabilities. To complete the card I added a little May Arts ribbon.
Now...the next time I'm going on and on about how sweet and wonderful those girls are, would someone PLEASE remind me of the kraft chicken? LOL!
Thanks for stopping by! And don't forget to register for the Dreamy Treats! I will be announcing the winner tomorrow night.
Give Thanks
