This is the card I've made for Alex. No bad dogs here - they'd be sent off to obedience school straight away. Anybody remember Snoopy enrolling Peppermint Patty in the Ace Obedience School?
I like this stamp for humorous get well cards, especially masculine ones. A2 black base. I cut up a beer can (this really is a masculine card) and embossed it with the Provocraft Clockwork folder. Trimmed it down, wiped with Luster rub-ons and then used fixative to keep the luster on. I added some dots of Enamel Accents. Image stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Black, coloured with re-inkers, Glossy Accents on the windows, layered up on Bazzill Bling. The HA sentiment was stamped on more of the can, embossed with black EP and cut with Spellbinders Tags Trio. I added a little punched star with gold Stickles, and attached the tag with a Junkitz ball and chain.
I'm late because I've been a bit flat myself and may no get all round the gallery till tomorrow. I'm bringing Creme Caramel because I think it's comforting, but Snoopy is, of course, bringing chocolate chip cookies.
TEA - Totally Enthusiastic Accomplices (of MM ) - I'd better do something to earn those extra points when I am late off the mark.

Anyone who goes thru the effort to cut open and flatten out a beer can to use on a card gets enough extra points to make up for "lateness". Looks like you have a whole stash of great ideas for masculine cards here, and how can lose with Snoopy?

So sorry to hear you are feeling a bit "flat" lately - hope that improves right away! Your card is super cute - love the embossed beer can with the gears! And, who wouldn't love Snoopy! The chain and tags are nice touches - and I bet Alex will love this card - I know I do!
