I created this card for the Alphabet Challenge, Letter O for Operation.
I remember playing that game as a child. It was fun to try and remove parts from the body without making the buzzer go off.
My card is a multi media panel with a tag, a chipboard frame, fibers, brads and embossing. I didn't know where to start, so I started digging through my box of ephemera.
I started with a tag with the hand, added a rub on "O" for operation, tore the bottom of the tag, added a brad and fiber. I used a dictionary page with the word "arthritis" and "anthropod," sponging the edges and gluing onto a brown card. I embossed a strip of kraft paper and brushed on brown ink. I stamped bones on my chipboard frame, sponging with browns and adding a piece of thread (thinking of stitches.) I fussy cut out a lady from piece of cardboard I'd saved. Then, placed her behind the tag...she reminded me of one of those ladies sawed in half by a magician...an "operation." My mind works in strange ways...ha ha!
That's my story for "Operation."

I think it's fun to have the page with arthritis on it, not that arthritis is fun! You should see my awful hands!!! I love all the parts of your collage. I find them the hardest to do!!!
