This is my card for today's limited supply challenge. Make a card with something that you bought to use on a card that kinda makes you go.....What was I thinking? This is my story!
1. These are fake fingernails!! What dummy would buy these as an embellishment???
2. I thought they were pretty and they were dirt cheap, like 75 cents or something!
3. My thought at the time? These will come in handy someday for a challenge! Yikes! Maybe I'm not such a dummy afterall! Bwahahaha!
4. This was a challenge in more ways than one. Crystal Effects worked pretty good glueing these down. Although it probably would have worked better had there been a finger under each one. (Yikes!) Good thing I'm too embarrassed to mail it to anyone cuz I don't think it would survive the USPS!
Ain't nobody beatin' this for stupid ideas! You don't even wanna hear what the Photographer had to say!

I recognized them as fingernails right away -- but I think you should have put them on and photoed your hand for us -- LOL!!! Great card and they have a beautiful design -- too funny!!!

Well, there must be something wrong with me because I think these beautifully decorated fingernails make a really pretty oriental looking flower! I think it's unique and cool! The black and guava make for a very striking color combo; I was immediately drawn to the thumbnail for your card to open it right away!

Like Charlene said, the thumbnail of this in the gallery jumped right off the page -- and then I saw it was yours. It's totally awesome. IMO you'd look lovely wearing them. You truly win in the really different embellishment contest! They are a very pretty design. Great color combo too. Fun, fun card, definitely a hand delivered one though.

Hahahahahahahahah!!!! You DEFINITELY win hands down!!! I am spilling my coffee laughing so hard... but you know, they really are pretty and you have arranged them in such a creative way I think you ALMOST could pull off giving it to someone! Heck, you could start a new fad! Maybe you could give it as a do it yourself kit presentation for fake nails... you know, peel off and apply to nails but what a lovely presentation to package them in. You are so talented.... you should contact the company and suggest they hire you to do their presentation! Double Duty Nails!!! HEhehehehehe!!!!!

I guess there must be something wrong with me too. I think this card (besides being totally unique and one of a kind) is really pretty. Hard to mail though.
