Okay, my mom likes funny cards and this set just wasn't funny enough. So I added a few features to the crab to make him look lecherous: note the eyebrows, the little grin and the googlie eyes. Then I added a couple of words to the "a pinch to grow an inch"...all these details drawn in by hand with a journaling marker so that it wouldn't run when colored.
I used a Fiskar's texture plate for the background and topped each wave with Stickles for a bit of bling. I colored the crab in with markers and Prismacolors that I learned here: http://hopartstudios.typepad.com/hop...color_pen.html
But the best part is inside, where I typed a custom greeting with SU!'s KP Quick Font. It says:
Oh yeah...like you need another old crab around to pinch your (insert naughty word here)!
Have a
Snappy Birthday!

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
