Hi! This card was made for today's Ways To Use It Challenge: Foiled, Again! Participants were to use FOIL on their cards.
I spent MOST of my high school years in the REAL back woods of West Virginia. We had to travel over 100 miles to get to church! When it snowed, we had to walk to school, up hill...BOTH WAYS! No...wait...that was my grandfather's story....LOL! Seriously, though, I lived in WV, and the people of our very small community were very poor and hunted for EVERYTHING. They hunted to feed their families, not for sport. I would hear rifle shots on a quarter hour basis, so you can just imagine what those HUNGRY people killed/ate.
However, this card was made more on the "Let's tease the other Cub Scout leader, who's prissy," agenda...You see, she's heard that I cook STRANGE things on camp outs, so I figured I'd freak her out a bit this evening by giving her this and some frozen boneless/skinless chicken breasts! LOL!
The FOIL is the PAN! I stamped the foil with Staz ON and cut out the pan. Next, I stamped the image on white and colored with Copics. To get the "furry" look, I dotted the entire image, (more on the face), with the Copic Blender marker. The handle was colored and pieced, too.

ROFL! I sure hope you'll let us know her reaction! Never thought I'd say, "Nice dead possum card!" But, Faith, nice dead possum card! LOL!
Thanks for the laugh!

Oh my! I've been seeing that image in their ad at the top of the page. I wondered "who would buy that??!" Well, now I know! What a funny story, and the card is actually really cute considering.... Great job!!
