I'm Sorry...


Mornin' hens!  Isn't this little guy hilarious?  OMG, he makes me chuckle every time I look at him.  I stamped him onto some Strathmore watercolor paper and watercolored him using distress markers.  Of course, I HAD to add some Glossy Accents to the little puddle he made! {snort!}  I matted the image using my Perfect Layers tool and did some faux stitching around each of the panels with my tracing wheel.  Oh, and how 'bout that bow? Eh-hem, I dyed it myself!  Woot-woot!  I'm SUPER DUPER proud of myself.  I saw this  technique on YouTube so I wanted to give it a try.  I used chalk white seam binding and ran my distress ink pad over top of it.  Then, I spritzed on some water, squished it up into a ball, and ta-da! It blended beautifully.  I dried it with my blow dryer and then used my ribbon iron for a smooth look.  Soooo cute, right? Each spool has 100 yards.  WOW!  Just think of all the bows you can make with one spool of seam binding!  I'll put a link in the list of supplies below, where I found mine.  Okee dokee, that's it for me today.  I hope you hens have a TERRIFIC Tuesday and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon!

Night Light!


Happy Saturday to everyone!
This layout is from Lori Craig's weekend Sketch Challenge 83. If you've never been to Lori's blog, "Make a Difference" you've got to hop on over and take a look. She's SO talented.
This little stamp is part of the October Afternoon set called, Night Light. Since this card is for a little boy's birthday, I thought this little guy needed to be holding a birthday present. So, I masked the little monster and then stamped the present separately. The present is from an older Stampendous Fluffles set. I colored this little guy with my Copics and sponged around the outside with some chalk ink. I added some Stickles to the present ribbon for some glitter and added some google eyes too. Kinda fits with the whole Monster theme, huh? I finished it off with some gingham ribbon and that about does it!

Supplies:
