Okay, so those of you who frequent my blog know that sometimes I like to use unusual things on my cards.... And this one is no exception. I realize some of you may think I'm strange, but thats okay by me. I never claimed to be normal.
Anyway, I happened to be in Target one day, browsing the $1 bins and came across this cute roll of white plastic with black paw prints all over it... And I thought, that would be so cute as a background for the card I am doing for our challenge featuring Lexi's Creations! After looking further at the package... I realized that this little roll of plastic was actually..... A roll of doggie poo poo bags! Of course, that didnt matter to me... It kind of made me want to use them even more.
I have to admit though, the black & white plastic was very hard to cut... I tried 3 paper cutters and neither of them liked this stuff! So I ended up having to hand cut it, which was no easy feat! The plastic keep slipping and sliding around.... Hence why the poo poo baggie background is a little crooked. But,i was determined to use it anyway and now here we are with this card done in a Twilight type color theme of Red, Black and White.
All other papers and the buttons are from my stash. I cut out the oval with the oval template and the Making Memories cutting system. The scalloped oval was cut with Nesties. I added faux stitching with a white pen from Inksentials. The border was punched with the Martha Stewart loop PATP set. I added glitter and sparkle to the bubbles in the image with a clear star jelly roll pen, for some Dazzle.
