Today's letter for the ABC Nail Challenge has had me racking my brain since we started this challenge and last week it came to me in a flash 'X' Marks the Spot! Now the vision I had in my head looked like one of those old treasure maps that you would see in moves with the little dashed black line leading to an X. I tried my best to transfer my vision to my nails. Not the best but I kinda like it. For my base I used NYC Mulberry Street, black cream for the dashes and Hot Hot Heat from Sinful Colors for my X. The little rhinestone I got in a set from Avon.
I love to take pictures so I thought I would share a picture of a cute little visitor that keeps coming around my house. A cute little groundhog :)
Be sure to stop by and see what all the ladies did for the letter X!
The map idea is so original! Maybe it doesn't fully convince you because the base colour is too light? I figure a map to be a dark brown or something like mud-colour!
I want to thank you so much for stopping by and taking time out of your day to read my blog, it really means a lot to me. I read each comment that is left for me. Please do not leave Follow Me comments, they will be deleted.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThank you :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous idea!! I love it and think you did a wonderful job!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the groundhog....ok kind of cute. Better than all the opossums we get.
Thank you! Possums are mean little critters LOL
DeleteLOLOL. It really DOES look like a map! Very clever, Amy. You nailed that X!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the groundhog may have adopted you. You might have to start thinking of a suitable name.
LOL Thanks Lisa! I do need to think of a name for it. It seems to come by almost every day :)
DeleteWhat a clever idea for a very difficult letter! That groundhog is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI agree! Clever idea!! And that groundhog is too cute!! I once took a pic of one staring right at me and about 5 ft away!!! That was back in Canada
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm hoping it will start coming farther up in the yard so i can get a better picture :)
DeleteThe map idea is so original! Maybe it doesn't fully convince you because the base colour is too light? I figure a map to be a dark brown or something like mud-colour!
ReplyDeleteI think that may be what it is. May have to give this look another try with a darker base :)
DeleteVery cute idea :) I love the rhinestone on the X!
ReplyDeleteThank You!
