Brenda, you have such a fun gallery. I wanted to create a funny card and the image on this card made me LOL! The Good Life by Tillergirl at Splitcoaststampers
I kept to your layout but embossed the green panel instead of using pattern paper. I found this image online along with the pun and thought it would be a cute birthday card like yours. I wrapped (ready for it?) drywall mesh/tape around the pickle guy and white panel to create the net and complete the offset image. The computer generated sentiments were attached with foam tape. My neighbour who is an avid pickleball player will appreciate this one. Thanks for the inspiration, Brenda, and enjoy your FS day!

OMG, this is so fun!! I have many pickleball playing friends who would love this! I've used drywall tape on cards before, but only for decoration. It works great as a net! Fav'd!

This is so good on so many levels - the pun, the use of mixed media in your scene, and the reference to a very trendy sport and of course to your inspiration! Great card!

Giggle! Fab image of the pickle, and your card is just as much fun as the card you chose for inspiration!

This is fabulous! I love the pickleball player and your choice of the drywall tape makes a perfect net! I play and would love to make cards for several of my friends, who also play! Thanks for the inspiration!

You were truly inspired on this one. I adore that you added the "net" to the scene. That pickle ball playing pickle is so fun and when you combine it with that sentiment you definitely get LOL. Great card.
