Compendium of Curiosities 3, Challenge 5!

Lots of texture in this card, it was fun to make. You can't tell from the photo, but I painted the chipboard 40 with Black Soot Distress Crackle Paint - it looks really good  in person and adds interest. I also made another silly card to send to my son at Boy Scout camp. We were teasing him about not showering all week:
