Our Twisted Sister Challenge this week was to make a humerous 'Get Well Soon' card....well it took a bit of thinking, but as soon as the bowl of soup arrived in my BRAK from Darla...I knew what I was going to do.....and Lesley, it seems girlfriend that we are 'twisted' to the same degree...we both went along the same track - well....it seems it is true...great minds do think alike! LOL!!!
I combined the image from Darla with the schicken one from Pat Smethers to get this result. The backgroup DP is embossed with guttergard, which also takes it into the Ways to Use it Challenge (purely by chance!!LOL!) I then ran a black inkpad over it to give the impression of chicken wire. The images are chalked, the bowl of soup layered on foam dots and glazed with Dimensional Magic...the lettering was very roughly done with left over Rubo Ons that must have come on the ark with Noah - they are old and brittle, but they worked - eventually, another recycled item for the WT Challenge!!!
So there you have it, a bit 'off beat' but this is my version of a humerous 'Get Well Soon' card - I hope I never have to send to to you!!!
Thanks for looking, I would be interested to hear what you think!!!

So darn cute, Linda. You gals are really pushing the beef today. LOL How funny that you and Lesley were thinking a long the same lines today.
I like that glittered up spoon and the use of the CE. Super background technique, too.

Cute chicks and yeah, I know why they would want us to eat beef the poor darlings. Great images, love the soup bowl. Hope it's not chicken soup though. LOL
