WT37: Let's Get Negative, use the negative part of a die, or in this case I used the negative part of a punch as a window.
When I was doing my first card today I used a Sweet N Sassy Stamps set called Happy Ocean Friends and I notice a cute little crab, and thought it would be perfect for a treat box card. There is also a sentiment that says Sorry I've been so crabby..but I could never use that one because I'm never "crabby" lol, so I did use the crabby part of it and added a question mark for my inside sentiment. I used versamark and stamped the crabs on the outside of the box and memento for the inside and colored it with copics. My nugget wrappers are a piece of dp that I stamped on the back with the crab.
The treat box card is my own version of what you can find in the resource section on SCS. My box holds only 3 nuggets and I added a flap on the one end to open and close the box part.
I stamped a studio g sentiment on the top part of the box that says: This Way to Chocolate, the arrows on the inside are also part of the little set.
The crabshack is an image I colored a while ago, and at this point can't find it to give you a brand name... You would think it would be in my fishing box, but NOPE.... looked there 3 times..

Oh-my-goodness Irene this is fabulous!!! The clever way that you used the negative so rocked this challenge...and what can I say about your crab shack?? Amazing!! I am in awe of the depth that you achieved in your coloring and the whole "crabby?" thing with the big ol' arrows pointing to chocolate is hysterical! Love it, love it love it.
PS I never get crabby either ;)
