The Hiss Family



This simple card was made back in 2008 for a friend who lived in Florida, and was at that time being plagued with a family of black racer snakes nesting under her house (non-venomous, but nerve-wracking all the same, if you feel about snakes the way I do about spiders!! Yuck!). She managed to get rid of them by using a product available in them there parts called 'Snake Away'. The unfolding story on her blog was hilarious, so I thought the departure of the snakes warranted a card.
I used a flamingo stamp to create the background (Florida's state bird), a Cuttlekids snake double die-cut and the 'Miss You' sentiment is from the 'Now That's Funky' CD from - you guessed it! - Funky Hand (no longer in business, sadly). And, of course, the ever-present doodling and inked edges! The drops under his eye are meant to be tears, lol.. made with Glossy Accents.
