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.

Oh my Faith, this is too funny.
We went camping the other weekend, and the park rangers keep a pet Possum. We went to their "Awesome Possum" program where they show him off and talk about possums. When the ranger asked the audience "Do you know what a possum's natural predators are?" I couldn't help myself -- I had to shout out "cars."

I can totally relate-- you should see how far back in the woods my house is Of course it is not so far back that we have to resort to possum for dinner-- but still pretty far back! And in Virginia no less. I love this possum, he's hilarious! Cute card.

Holy Moly, this is just perfect. Love the image as well as those vibrant colors. Love your stories too.
Thanks for your concerns on my son. They ended up putting a cast on and he has to wear it for 4 weeks. I guess its one way to get out of P.E.
