I had the most fun ever with this challenge! Thank you, Shelly. I ran around the house looking for stuff that would make a good embelishment and was non-traditional. In the bathroom I found red cough drops, breath strips and daily contact lense cases; in the sewing area I found a zipper, thread, a piercing tool, a safety pin, and an elastic thingie for ironing boards; in the office I found pieces from an old credit card machine; and in the kitchen I found an used scouring pad, packets of splenda, a couple of coins and a bullet.
So I chose the scouring pad and the .22 bullet. My DH took the stuff out of the bullet and parts of the scouring pad was my "ribbon." When I finally showed to DH, a hunter of course, he called it my redneck card. I think it's a pretty handsome redneck card. And the deer is still standing!
Thanks for looking.
