{use your noodle}

I found the funnest challenge ever!  Check it out.  Eileen Hull is having a fun Noodle Challenge on her blog!  Seriously.  A noodle challenge.  :)  Check out her blog for the story behind this great challenge, it involves one of my favorite places to eat, Noodles & Co and the winner gets a $10 GC! 

I made 2 cards, because that's where my noodles took me.  *laugh*  I was very proud of myself, I didn't run out and buy any fancy noodles, although the thought did cross my mind, instead I used my noodle stash!

Noodle Card #1:  Peace
I soaked a mini farfalle noodle in some Glimmer Mist and then added just a touch of silver ink to the edges when it was dry.  Perfect for this dove's wing!

Noodle Card #2: Winter
I spray painted some elbows white, but at 25 degrees here in Michigan spray painting was a bit tricky!  I wanted them really white, but this is as good as it gets people.  *laugh*  I layered some light molding paste on the bottom of my card and stuck my noodles on it. Added a little glitter and called it swirly noodle snow!

Thanks for an outrageously fun challenge, Eileen!
