The title is the sound I make eating chips, which is appropriate since this card is for stampingwriter's Pass The Chips, Please VSN challenge: use paint chips on your card.
This is a paint chip from Lowe's for Valspar paints. I rubbed off the paint name & numbers with an eraser (it did leave a bit of a shiny spot, though) and embossed it using the Quickutz plant embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment from MFT. I had to cut off a bit of one end to make it fit and rounded the corners. Matted it to a going gray card base.
I will definitely be picking up some more paint chips soon! So fun to play with!

This is wonderful. I have that same chip, and you did exactly what I wanted to do -- have the stems on the green and the flowers on the purple. I didnt' have a long enough stamp. I love how it looks embossed. Thanks so much for playing in my challenge.

This looks terrific! At first I forgot this one was the paint chip challenge and was admiring how well you were able to match up the cardstock pieces, LOL. Didn't know you could emboss paint chips. Good to know.

Very clever use of paint chips, I must say! Love the embossing and the clean simplicity of this beautiful card... Congrats on being the 'Best Chef' for this challenge!
