Happy Thursday everyone! It's time once again for a new challenge topping over at the Seize the Birthday blog. Glenda has chosen a very unique prompt and I can 99.99% guarantee that you will never guess it in a million years.

I wouldn't have gotten it either and it requires a bit of explanation.
I began with stamping and Copic coloring my pickles. The image didn't include the pickle bumps which I thought were essential so I drew them in afterward. To create my sentiment I had to do some tricky masking of stamp phrases. The texture on the card panel was achieved with a 3D embossing folder. I then adhered the image to the center and used a frame die for the mat overlay. I'm not sure who will receive this one yet but I think it's rather cute.
Supplies:
The Sweet Stamp Shop - Big Dill stamp set
MFT - Stitched Rectangle die set
Simon Says Stamps - Crystal Distortion embossing folder
Avery Elle - Celebration stamp set
I'm so happy I finally dusted off this virgin Big Dill stamp set and am adding my card to Darnell's NBUS challenge. Virgin no more.
I invite you to visit our blog for more inspiration. We'd love to see your card in our gallery. Remember, our toppings are always optional but do remember to make it a birthday card.
As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!

This card is absolutely Dill-ightful, Jules. Best use of your initials EVER. I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteJules, great use of your initials. This card is so adorable and so full of great texture.
ReplyDeleteI love your sense of humor as you always make me smile. This card is fantastic and yes I love pickles!
ReplyDeleteYour card is super cute and you should have used it before, but glad that you did for this challenge. What a great take on the initials. I was wowed by your card and the way that you wrote your post.
ReplyDeleteTotally made me smile with that fun sentiment :)
ReplyDeleteLove this fun card, I totally over looked the P for pickles (brain is in slow motion today!) and thought of pun, which I guess also works! Anyway, such a cute card. Thanks for having me as your party guest for this fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, is it a dill? I could go for that! I think this is the most clever of all our cards, a Jar of Pickles for JP...it is amazing and awesome and just perfect for this challenge!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pun card Jules! Love your choices for your initials, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice that you polished off your pickles and put some ink on them, Jules! And it's a very, very clever use of your initials for this dilly of a design! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha!! Ohh, that's one really great card! I am completely amazed by the use of your initials! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you’re right, I didn’t guess! I was thinking jalapeños? Joke? Never got to P. Fab card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable and clever! Your pickles are absolutely PERFECT! Even though I'm not a lover of pickles this puts a huge smile on my face.
