I had to think long and hard about this ABC challenge for G.I. Joe. I googled it and discovered that the first movie made about G.I. Joe was called, "The Rise of the Cobra."
I decided to draw a cobra for my card...which is really strange for me because I literally hyperventilate and panic when I see a snake. (childhood trauma) But I overcame my fear and drew a kind of "cute" cobra. LOL I stamped the snake with a background stamp and colored it. Then I wrote the greeting: "Ssssomeone sssaid it'ssss your Birthday!" I doodled around the edges and added Crystal Lacquer to his eye.

Good for you, drawing a snake when you have a phobia! (mine is spiders!) Great job, love the reference to the G.I. Joe movie!

I almost couldn't look at this!! Snakes are so creepy to me. I don't think I could pull up my big girls pants and draw one. So, good for you. He is kind of cute.

Oh my goodness, Gracie, what a great job you did and wonderful thinking! I don't like snakes either but do think you drew a cute one. This is the perfect birthday card for an ophiophilist.
