Shrimply? QKR

Hi Everyone, my card today is a DT card this one is for  

We will select two winners each of the weeks 
1 using QKR Stampede  or Eureka Stamps image
 and 1 using any image!

Anything Goes every 1st & 15th of the month

I saw the image and the sentiment on this card on separate days, then happily coloured and made the card, before realising. that this image is a Lobster! (I blame what was going on at the time in the UK when I made this card!) However, I thought in my strange sense of humour that the person who receives will probably know as soon as they see it and I hope, gives them a smile as I hope it gives you one too. 

Anyhow, as I said I coloured the image, using DI's, I added a very light blue marker pen around the image. I computer generated the sentiment and cut it out with a die. The background was embossed onto orange card, then rubbed it over DO's with the same colours of the image.

 image - Lobster QKR Stampede, 
inks - Distress inks / Oxides, abandoned coral, dried marigold, ripe persimmon, carved pumpkin, spiced marmalade
image die - Craft Making Magic
sentiment die - Julie Hickey
embossing folder - Cuttlebug, Thanks

Oh my gosh, this is so original and so danged cute! Who cares if it's a lobster or a shrimp - they all come from the sea anyway! Fun sentiment and a great little card!

What a fun card Faith and love the wonderful sentiment to go with it and great colouring of that cute lobster and the coordinating orange coloured EF makes the perfect background. Thank you so much for your visits and lovely comments, I really appreciate it! x

LOL Faithie. It's close enough for gov't work! I actually think it makes it more humorous and this Gulf Coast gal didn't even notice. Great card! (But next time, you can put "You're my lobster" as the sentiment - Phoebe on Friends tv show always said that for true love). XOX
