50-50 and I Don't Mean a Raffle!

Happy Hump Day!  Have you seen that current Geico commercial where the camel walks around the office asking "What day is it?" -cracks me up every time:)

I haven't played along with a CAS-ual Fridays challenge in a long time and this week's challenge to create a CAS project with some kind of material like felt, canvas, fabric, etc. intrigued me:

I've had some Claudine Hellmuth sticky-back canvas in my stash for awhile and decided to try embossing it.  After adhering a piece to a white cs scrap before running it through my Cuttlebug it worked like a charm!  I really like the subtle texture it gave to my card. 

After reading a comment my dear and talented friend Maureen left on a previous blog post I decided to do a little research and to revisit a design to create my card for the challenge:

I wasn't sure if I knew what a 50-50 ice cream bar that Maureen referenced in her comment was until I looked on-line and realized it's what I knew as a creamsicle growing up- Yum!  Did a little paper piecing and coloring with markers to get my embossed image from the North Coast Creations set "You're the Bomb!" to resemble a 50-50:)  Sentiment is also from this fun set.

Other Supplies Used:  Papertrey ink white cs, Hero Arts sunshine layering paper and dots, teresa collins Tell Your Story pp, Echo Park Dots & Stripes pp, WPlus 9 heart dies, Stampin' Up chevron embossing folder and baked brown sugar marker 

Thanks for all your supportive comments!
