Uncle Si Robertson Card
The only thing better than KellyCraft's Get-it-Straight Laser Square and Multi-mat Docking Station is a combination of KellyCraft's Duck Commander and Jimbo Logic stamps.
When I finished it, it needed a little something extra, so I went through my stash of Makin's Air Dry Polymer Clay embellishments. When I have leftover small pieces of clay, I either cut them with a clay cutter or use them in a push-mold to create little pieces of art that I can use to finish out future projects. The color was a bright turquoise blue, but a coat of shiny black paint and a little Inka Gold took care of that.
Here's how I made this Uncle Si Robertson card, with the lojik of KellyCraft co-founder Jimbo Kelly's down home Southern sayings:

5. Paint the clay embellishment and allow to dry. Apply Ink Gold to the raised parts of the clay with your finger or a tiny makeup sponge.
6. Apply craft glue to the back of the embellishment and center it at the top of the card. Place a heavy object on to until the glue dries.
This will make a cute birthday card for someone who loves Uncle Si or just a little project to bring a smile to someone's face.
