Not the kind of thank you card most would expect, but I made it today for my pest control man. Got to admit that it is kind of classy for a rat card. I've used this weird pair once before for him when "Mr. Bug" rid us of our attic rats. So where'd they go? They packed their bags and moved across the street into our rental home! Mr. Bug, thankfully, will be able to fit them into his schedule tomorrow and he'll get this card when I pay the bill. I used a Darice EF, inking up the "wrong" side before embossing, leaving a negative letterpress effect. Used a Sizzix wood EF for the "rats' circle and added this scrap of marbled paper. I rarely use lavender in my cards, and am happy these colors worked together.

Oh I so needed a laugh so bad today. The world is an anxious place right now so this is the perfect lift for my gallery. I know your 'guy' will go crazy when he sees this custom card that you made just for him. This is totally awesome. Thanks for joining us today.

Who ya gonna call - rat buster!! This ought to bring quite a smile to Mr. Bug's face . . .. but sure hoping your rats don't just come back to your home to nest.
