Hello my crafty friends. I hope you are all enjoying your day. Today I have a card to share with you using a stamp from Queen Kat Designs, where as most of you know, I am on their Design Team. What a thrill this ride has been. It has taken me out of my comfort zone by forcing me to use stamps that I normally wouldn't even think of using. It has been fun to see where my ideas take me. I haven't always been extremely happy with the finished products, but I am proud of the fact that I have tried to think outside the box.
That is exactly what I have done with this card. It is wwwaaayyy outside my normal creative box. This stamp is from Terra Bidlespacher and is called Gargoyle. I love this little stamp. She is my first gargoyle and I don't see her being my last. For me, working with these images are rather hard. I usually do cute or sweet cards, even my masculine cards could be considered cute. So, to try and go Goth, Emo, or just plain out there is a challenge. But, I have enjoyed stretching my creative ability. So, without further ado, here she is..
I call this one "Freak". I used glitter pens to color her in. I used a Tiki Hut Tan BIC marker to color her skin but it came out looking kinda greenish. I hand drew the wall background and then added some graffiti to it. I actually just kept adding embellishments until I thought it looked ok. I added a stick pen to the big flower and some metallic nail heads to the corners. Glossy Accents highlight the wall. I think she turned out pretty "cute"..lol
Thanks for stopping in today. And don't forget about the October 13 Days of Halloween blog hop over on QKD. God bless you.
