Get the hang of it!

Here's the first card I made when my Hip-Hop set arrived. I used the metallic paste to rub over my different textures, the CB Distressed Stripes (nice grass!) and CB Floral Fantasy folder(which I think looks really cool with the giraffe print) and the scalloped Nestie. I hadn't posted it yet, because I thought it still needed a little something....how about this?!
TIP: To create some hanging signage, stamp and cut out several little "signs" (the square stamp) from Just So Hippy, then hand letter or stamp in your favorite small alpha stamps.(In hindsight (LOL!) I think drawing in my own letters would look better with this set/idea, like a kid wrote it) Lay them out in a curved "line" (since the middle will be the "heaviest") between your animals mouths or tails, and follow this imaginary line with a pen. Draw a little bow or dangling end on either side. Adhere the signs to the card. Here's a close up!
I thought it turned out so cute! Of course, a friend (who I will not name*) came over and asked, "What's "luvu"??" But you get it, right?? LUV U! I had a limited amount of space to work with here! For a longer message, be sure to orient your card long-ways. :)

Gotta run, getting ready for a big swap, putting the finishing touches on a prize, and some gifts for a few of my girls! (will share pics and deets of course for all of you at home!)

Hugs! it's almost the weekend, wheeeeeeeeee!

* it's okay, Vanessa, I'm sure a lot of other people didn't get it either
