Trish, girl, I loved letting my fingers walk through the 'Bay and decide on my VSN challenge. It was a word my DH spoke that set the tone for the whole card. I was telling him what the limits were and that you had to use a playing card on your entry. Card Shark was his reply. So....
off to google for a shark image, printed it and designed my card. I used SU soft sky as the cardbase. Stamping the cheesecloth with VersaMagic Agean Blue. I used Stampers Anonymous sentiment inking it directly to the cardstock with ColorBox black. The fun red bracket is from Technique Tuesday's funcuation set. It was inked with SU's craft ink in real red and embossed with clear ep. To finish, I added a metal charm of the heart suite, attaching with a red brad and then tore the Ace of Spades for the corner.
So I'd love to hear what you think of my challenge entry...thanks very much!

Love your SHARK card! Can you tell me more about getting images on google? There has been several times I didn't have a stamp for a theme like Barrel or The Drunk and couldn't play in the swap I do those months... I love the way a picture looks in a card like yours.

Girl, I think this was very clever!!!! Tons of detail from the cheesecloth bg that looks suspeciously like a net...to the A ripped from a card to the little card charms!! You did a great job, thank DH for me too k? Thanks for playing the challenge!!
