My friend Leslie had a fun Macaroni Challenge over on her blog! I don't even know if I followed the rules because I didn't read any of them before I created my card! lol I just had lots of fun and created this card with Leslie in mind.
I had some funny little short tube noodles. I placed them all on their sides and stuck them to a strip of painters tape. I inked them up and stamped them along the bottom of the card. It's hard to see the different shades but it's actually black, green and brown.
The textured macaroni shaped noodles were inked in black. Leslie...those are the road gators you taught us about! Isn't it funny how that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw them? :o)
The side of the truck displays the company logo. What do you think of that? lol Those are my tiny alphabet noodles that have been alcohol inked. This is the first time I have used my alcohol ink.
Finally, inside the truck are Leslie and Joe. Joe is sporting the bow-tie noodle that has also been colored with alcohol ink. I didn't want to draw their faces on for fear of insulting them...although I do think I came close with Joe's hairdo!
So there you have it, Leslie...my macaroni card! Be careful out on those roads...there's gators out there! :o)

Your Macaroni Challenge is "da bom!" :D
The rules, simply put, were what can you do with macaroni and you followed the rules :-)
Oh my stinkin' heck, you had both Joe and I laughing and chuckling and laughing out loud.
Excellent use of noodles to stamp the roadway. I must add, those road gators are fierce and fantastic :D. Love what you've done with the alphabet noodles.

Joe says "The hair-do is just right"! :D
