Today's CAS Challenge is fresh produce. My card actually uses an onion that has been in my fridge for a while. Fortunately, I didn't form too much of an emotional bond with it and was willing to sacrifice it to make this card. I feel a little bad about it, but I take solace in the knowledge that the onion will live on in this fabulous background. I also stamped a few extra backgrounds because I thought the onion stamp looked so cool.
I had this cute TCP chef bunny that came with a little knife and an empty tray and knew he was perfect for this card. I drew the onions onto the tray with a gel pen. They looked pretty weird until I colored them in and brought them to life.
This wicked fun onion joke can be found on my blog, if you want to try your own onion stamping and use this sentiment - The Stamping Actuary

This is a brilliant card, Jen!! I love, love, love the onion prints - I wonder if the onion is still compostable after being inked? Great job on drawing the tiny onions!

Just when you think you've seen it all! Then Jen stamps with an onion!! And it looks dang cool! What a fun card and saying. You're so good at coming up with creative words and themes. And on the topic, I'll share my onion cutting tip: I wear swim goggles that cover my nose and eyes and it keeps the tears away. I look silly but it works!
