This is for the MMTPT319 and the TLC498. I had just enough rick rack scraps to wrap them around an acrylic block three times. I lightly sponged the water area with distress salty ocean then stamped the rick rack in the same blue. I made a bkg piece of water and then masked the bottom of the raft and stamped the chicken on another piece of cardstock. I sponged and stamped the water, fussy cut the top part with the chicken and glued the water down flat with pop dots under the chicken to add dimension. When I printed my sentiment on the computer (this has become my fav font) it was a little big and I had trouble getting everything to fit. This is going to Mutnik's sister who has been having more than her share of troubles.
TFL, Francie

Way cute, Francie. I'm pretty sure that's a WhipperSnapper, but only about 98%. What a cool idea to use ricrac to stamp with. It's made fabulous waves!! And I love the way you have the front layer popped up.
One of the things I thought of using was some novelty knitting yarn, but I couldn't find it this morning.
You've got fun and happy colours - perfect. I'm sure Connie will be so tickled to receive this.
(p.s. I'm just going to edit your keyword for the TLC so it shows in the right gallery ;-)).

Bright - check. Funny - check. Beautifully designed and colored - check. What a fantastic card! Your bathing beauty chicken is just a hoot - would love the card at that. Your use of the rick-rack to fashion a stamp for her a watery playground is simply brilliant. All of your fun, bright papers and details are going to delight Connie! Thank you so much for coming to her Teaparty...be sure to grab some extra eyeglass cookies, you've earned a huge plate full!
