My secret letter is b....as in Queen Bee.

For this portion of the month long hop,
I was lucky enough to choose a fabulous image from Oak Pond Creations.
As soon as I saw this particular image I knew it was the one for me;
and I knew exactly the sentiment I wanted to use with it.
This card was inspired by one of my favorite people on earth.
I won't mention any names or details of the events leading up to this inspiration....
the guilty party people involved will know who they are!

Here's the sentiment that I printed:

And here is my card:
The image is called Evan's Yeti.
He cracks me up!!

The corrugated paper that's behind the image began life as a soda case.  I tore a rectangle, sent it through my Fiskars Paper Crimper, smudged a bit of white acrylic craft paint over parts of it, and inked the edges with
Tim Holtz Forest Moss Distress Ink.

Other items used to make this card were:
Coloring Medium:  ProMarkers
DSP:  Recollections Peppermint Twist stack
Cardstock:  Bazzill Basics
Rustic twine:  Glitter and Kitsch
Button, brads, and metal tabs:  My stash


All of us at Come and Get It hope you'll be able to hop along with us this month.  Here are links to Judy's and Meighan's blogs...Judy is just before me on the hop list and Meighan is just after me.

  29. Congrats on your DT position over at CAGI! You made such a fun card for your first challenge! The Yeti is a cool image, a very non-traditional choice for a Xmas card, but I love the sentiment you teamed it up with, and all the texture is such a nice touch. This is such a great male design!
