Another card for the Send a Smile project - this one for one of the shut-ins at my church.
This little crab was just too cute to put away after just one card. Plus, when I saw this leftover frame sitting there, it immediately gave me an idea.
Stamped the YNS crab twice. Colored the one completely and colored just the "arms", claws and flip flops on the other.
Positioned my frame so that just the top of the crab was showing through. Matted with red cardstock. Used glossy accents to add a second layer, allowing the outside part of the claws be on the front of the frame, adding some dimension and making it look more like my happy crab is coming out of the frame. Added a small hello sentiment. Layered over Bazzill cardstock and the card base. Finished off with a bit of Wink of Stella and a set of googlie eyes.
TFL!

Ha!!! I see why you had to have this crab - he's adorable!! And I love how you created the frame for him. The glossy accents and having his claws come outside the frame are great details! Faved!
