DENIED!!

Over at the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo! Group, the current challenge is to make some HUMOROUS ART.  You know, funny stuff.  Gut splitting.  Laugh till milk comes out your nose.  That kind of funny.  Using at least one of Wendy's stamps.  Now, her recent releases have some pretty funny sayings on them, I think!

Being a number cruncher myself, in real life, an idea popped into my head, and here's the result:


LOL!  I had a great time making this.

Meet George, a stuffy IRS agent. He's saying my art is not tax deductible! WTH??  Can you imagine the audacity?
I had meant to grab some used adding machine tape from work, but of course, forgot as I was rushing out the door in my attempt to leave work as quickly as possible.  So, I just cut some copy paper, and remembered Wendy has a background stamp that is all numbers, and, voila! an adding machine tape.
All the stamps are Studio 490 of course.
The "DENIED" is from my awesome P-Touch labeler.  I freehanded the convo bubble. 
You might not find this a gut splitter, but come on, admit it, you at least chuckled a bit.
Thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions on how I did something, just email me or ask in a comment, and I'll get back to you..
Have a great weekend!

This is great and being a former bean counter myself (And I still work with the numbers) it is hysterical. When I was an auditor it was so hard to make friends.
