I couldn't resist playing along with Challenge #56 over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers as I love making funny/punny/jokey cards! The Sisters are a witty bunch and I love the DT cards for this challenge. Take a look: their cards are hilarious!
Here's the adorable Jean from AI (Still Livin') again. Sadly, I don't think she's available now so I'm glad I bagged this geriatric beauty when I did! Edited to add: Hurray, Jean is still available here!
I wanted a 'punchy' backdrop for Jean so decided to use my brightest green Distress Ink Twisted Citron and over-stamped Waltzingmouse's Mini Crackle background in Peacock Feathers.
I found a single sheet of purple paper in my stash and managed to get a base layer and a small embellishment from it. I love green, purple and turquoise together!
When I was looking at the Art Impressions site to see if they still stocked Jean, I discovered that they have a blog and a regular challenge. I guess because I don't buy from them (I'm in the UK and international postage is sooooo expensive) I've never really explored the site. I have to say that I like the blog and can see myself settling back with a cuppa to enjoy the videos and the excellent posts... and then searching for UK stockists!
The current AI challenge is 'Add a Brad'... So I added three for good measure!
Finally, I spotted that Allsorts Challenge Blog is running an April Fools/Humorous challenge this week. The DT cards are brilliant and certainly made me laugh-out-loud big time! So, finally, I'm linking-up and playing along with the lovely Allsorts crew.
Have a happy day everyone!
