Wanna scrap?!

Last week, I took my son to the Emergency Room. He got a mosquito bite right between his eyes and it swelled to the point where it looked like his head was going to explode. Poor child! He had to have blood drawn. Then about fifteen minutes later, the nurse comes back to tell me that they will need to put an IV in and do another blood draw. I was fine, but she asked me "Wanna scrap?!" If she had asked me that question five years ago. I would have been dragged out of the hospital by police. Well, five years ago, I would not have been at a hospital with a child. Anyway, I just laughed. She told me that a few days before, a mother was so angry that she looked as if she was going to throw blows with the nurse. It shouldn't be funny, but it was!  Ü

I created this card using all the scraps I had laying around. This card was supposed to be my submission for Club Anya's Mystery Monday challenge. Because it's football season and my hubby is still hogging my computer, I am last minute in submitting my card today. And it's just my luck that I get an error page as I try to upload my picture for submission. Well, I still wanted to share my hard work here with you.

Whisper White, Sunny Garden DSP, Play Date DSP, Just Beleive Stamp Set, Paradise Stamp Set 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon, Natural Hemp Twine, Stampin' Dimensionals

The hula girl is from The Greeting Farm, I stamped it with Basic Black craft ink, and heat-embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I used Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens to color. The flower was bought from Ben Franklin Crafts, a box for a dollar.

I had lots of fun with this card. The clear sheet that my hula dancer is mounted to is a transparency sheet for ink jet printers. This sheet has a textured side, which the ink sticks to... that allowed me to stamp onto the transparency. The stamped image does not come out perfect, and it will be mirrored, so it will not work with sentiments. I used it here so that you could see the background. I sponged the corners and edges with Early Espresso ink so that my Stampin' Dimensionals would not show through the transparency.

I was really proud of this card, it's too bad it will not be entered for this week's Club Anya challenge.

Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by.
