CC640: I needed a humorous get well card so no dessert for me! This is an inside joke with the recipient. Inside it says "sending a little laughter, it's the BEST medicine. Get well now!"
TLC643: I spelled out the word on the front - going for the look of squares of toilet paper. I think I landed on a word that you don't generally see in stamp sets.
I inked up the ef with real red and ran it through the damask ef and stamped the hardwood background stamp with smoky slate. I thought this made the effect of an elegant bathroom wall. I took a thin strip of TP and wound it around a piece of paper clip for my roll of TP. I spelled out the word. As I said, this is an inside joke with the recipient who just had total knee replacement so it should add laughter to her recovery.
Thanks for looking!

Your inked damask EF look like the flocked wallpaper from 'way back when'. I did a version of this last year for a friend's 70th birthday - it was the hit of the party - so I know your friend will get a chuckle from this too! and laughter IS the best medicine.

You are hilarious, as is this card. And this card is so very creative with the paperclip etc. and putting the letters on little pieces of paper-genius.
I am sure your friend will still be chuckling about this for a long time. Great card, Catherine!

This went right into my favorites. I love funny cards and it's not always easy to make those as a stamper. This is brilliant. And humor aside, the way you did the "wallpaper" and wainscoting and the mini TP roll is very clever. Great job!
By far this is no "crappy" card. No "****" this will be sure to have her "rollin" like the real "to" you have in this very masterful ingenious creation!! Leave it to you to come up with such loving hilariously funny creation!! Ms Einstein!!! Love it. It went directly into my high ho list!! Haha I spelt out the S word but it got sensored rofl!!!
