Here is my card for the MMTPT189 challenge. My basic idea was to make it look like there were hands holding some playing cards. I am not a very talented artist, so I thought I could use some oval die cuts to make the hands. They turned out sort-of creepy looking. I think I did more damage then good when I tried to add some creases to the skin. Might make the hands a little different next time.
Pretty easy card, just embossed the white card stock and used a brayer to add some ink on the raised parts, cut and corner rounded the cards, stacked them up and added the ovals for the hands and finger nails. Couldn't resist adding some Crystal Effects to the nails to make them appear more "painted." Hope that it makes Rita smile.

Creepy? No way silly girl! I am no expert on creepy because I always hide my face in movies when the creepy parts come around, but I am pretty sure I have an idea of what it is and its not this! I love your creativity here! Rita is gonna take this to her Bridge game and her girlfriends are gonna be so impressed they won't remember how to play and Rita will win all the chips, money, cookies, tarts, or new cars they play for!
