Evil Mom Terrie gave this week's Twisted Sister Challenge. We were to make a card with an April Fool's twist. If I understood correctly. This card came together with components I happened to have already made. I have had these chipboard designs for years and just happened to pick this little window shape up. Decided I was going to use it. Stamped little daisies on white CS and colored them with markers prior to adhering the CS to the backside of the window shape. Added a bow at the top. Ran a piece of white CS through the Big Shot with a CB folder; sponged on some tempting turquois; die cut a small scalloped oval, stamped the sentiment and sponged the center a little. The outside sentiment says "you need a little cheering up" and the inside says "Retail Therapy, say charge! Time to shop!" These phrases are from MFT. With limited time on my hands this week, this is as close to an April Fool as I could get.
