I know this card is a bit out there, but walk with me a bit so I can maybe get you to see the inner beauty...lol...

*My potential SIL who loves crawfish, has a giant crawfish boil every year, and who brought me a giant bucket of fresh peanuts he grew
So Jayne and probably everyone else on this site loves their geli plates and gets wonderful prints from them. I have mistreated and misunderstood mine and we just don't like each other very much. Everything goes wrong when I use it. This time I could not find my brayer. So this was made using my fingers to spread out the paint (I know it isn't the right thing to do but I wanted to play and I believed my fingers might work better to achieve the cheese plate design). I also sprinkled on some mica flakes which made those cool blank dots as they decided to fully stick to the plate. So I got done and then I pulled off the print and it was really, really ugly. Then I also could not imagine what I would do to fix it or ever use it. Then it hit me this looks like mud and crawfish love mud, and I needed a thank you card for my potential future SIL who loves crawfish.... So I set out to draw crawfish and paint it up. It is kind of ugly - I know it, but I am pretty sure he is going to love it.
Thanks for sticking with me in explaining this crazy thing. Hugz
