It's in the Pipeline

It's Jane's turn this week to set the dare for Daring Cardmakers everywhere and she wants us to use pipe cleaners on our cards:

Any shape, colour or form - put them on a card! I know it can be difficult to incorporate Pipe Cleaners on cards (sticking them down is one obstacle!) but they can be put to lots of interesting uses too! So go on - it wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy would it?

Craft time has been nil this week, I only had yesterday to come up with something for a rather tricky dare!
Mine is a simple idea, it came from pencil toppers I used to make for my mum to sell at fundraising events, which were pipe-cleaner "snakes" with googly eyes and felt tongues stuck on their heads, these snakes were twisted around a pencil and they sold quite well. I still had some of these "bumpy" pipe-cleaners lurking in one of my craft boxes so dug them out to make this card. I hand cut the letters in what are are supposed to look like more snakes and added more googly eyes and red fibre tongues.

Papers are BG Archaic - that's twice I've used them now! wow.

If you think pipe-cleaners don't give much scope for cardmaking - just pop over to the Daring Cardmakers blog and see all the ways the Team have used them - you'll be hunting out those twirly, furry little sticks in no time - come on, have a go, it's a great challenge!
