I've been making these cards for the card drive and will definitely be sending one to Grace...I love to include jokes like this one...."How much does a crab eat?"
Punchline..."Just a pinch!" LOL
It's hard to see but I colored the crabs with distress inks and then sprayed pearlized water for some shine...
So I decided to not only send in some cards but make a goal for collecting cards for Grace. My goal is 100 cards. I'm asking everyone I know to join in, even if they don't create handmade cards, purchased cards are great too! So in honor of that, I've put together a Hero Arts prize pack that includes...Some clear card buttons...
An elephant clear stamp set (perfect for making cards for kids!)
a scallop circle woodblock stamp...
A pack of foilage mixed folded cards....
and a soft apricot shadow ink pad...
Wanna win? Just leave a comment below telling me if you are going to create and send a card for Grace...and I will enter you in the drawing for a chance to win this prize pack. If you leave a link to your blog or gallery showing me your card or cards, I will enter you again into the drawing! The drawing ends July 31, 2010.
Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back soon with more card ideas....
