Red Headed Step Child

So apparently nobody likes, everybody hates me, and now I have to go eat worms.  Gummi worms, of course.  It seems that no one else was thrilled with my Get Down and Dirty challenge over at the A Muse Studio Challenge Blog as no one has joined in to play.  That's such a bummer. 

I even made this card as further inspiration utilizing Splash spray and torn paper as my "messy" parts.  I noticed that you can't really control messy bits such as the spray or even the tears in the paper and I realized that is probably why I don't like grungy techniques that much.  They annoy my inner control freak!

Anyway, if you feel like getting out of control and being messy, please join the challenge so I can possibly grace you with the fah-bu-lous prize of mermaid chevron paper (such a cool color!).

Speaking of red headed step children, I've never been a step child but I have been a redhead.  I was once even a fire engine red redhead.  See, apparently the hair dresser didn't quite understand what I meant when I said I wanted very obviously red hair.  I meant like my cousin, whom I suppose people would call a 'carrot top' although I never understood that moniker at the tops of carrots are these green fern like things.  Anyway I meant like an actual natural hair color not like something you'd paint your nails.  That darn red lasted forever too.  Now if I wanted a funky color like that it would wash out in 2 weeks flat.  Go figure!

The Fine Print: More A Muse Studio, because that is the name of the game over at the challenge blog (for us anyway, participants are not required to use a|s stuff).  Cardstocks used-cherry, onyx, cherry petite pinstripe; cherry chevron ribbon, heart trio die, cherry splash spray, and greeting from the Say it With Style stamp set.
