Good morning!
Are you a procrastinator? Without a doubt, I am the queen of procrastination! I put things off until I can no longer do so. I avoid things that are a chore to do until it's absolutely necessary to do them. I'd rather do something I want to do than something I have to do. I don't like this trait, but I live with it. *grin* Today's card is a tribute to me and all the procrastinators out there!
This is Melville. It isn't a very feminine name for a queen, but hey; who am I to judge?! Melville is from my favorite set from Starving Artistamps/Doodle Factory, Creatures. I really wish they would come out with a Creatures II and more sentiments to match because I just love how silly and kooky they are! 
DoodleFactory and Sassafras Lass paper are a match made in heaven. Both are really bold and graphic. I used my SU reinkers and aquapainter brush to color in Melville (and Distress Inks for the background) and added some Star Dust Stickles to her crown for some sparkle. I find that the red reinkers tend to take the longest to dry, so I usually color the background first before applying the reds. This is so it (the red ink) doesn't bleed into the other areas while I'm coloring them. The matching sentiment is quite cumbersome, so I cut the sentiment in two and stamped the punch line on the inside. Love those quirky sentiments! 
Speaking of procrastinating; I have been avoiding cleaning the inside of my car all summer and this weekend I have to clean it. Bleh. Have a good one! SuppliesStamps: Starving Artistamps/Doodle Factory 'Creatures' and 'Quirky Sentiments'

♥♥love it♥♥ I chuckled as I read about your issues regarding procrastination...remember sista...we don't procrastinate, we work better under pressure! I love the Doodle Factory with Sassafras! Nice teamwork!
What a funny and adorable card! It looks fantastic -- I don't think I ever would have thought to use that kind of paper but it looks perfect!
Unfortunately, I feel like if I don't work first, I can't "play". It's why I get so little "playing" done. I need to rethink my priorities. :)
Perfect! HA! I love it and I'm so right there with ya! I'm such a procrastinator. And...omgosh yes, DF and Sassafras do go perrrrfectly together!
Your coloring is really amazing Sandra!
Oh gosh if I had 16 arms I'd still be the queen....
Love the card and the distressing details Sandra!
Now go clean the car! LOL
That is really funny that you mention a Creatures II set because it has been on my To Do list for ages. In fact, it would have been part of the next release if I didn't have that very same procrastination disease.
I love your card! Those waves in the background are awesome.
this is just gorgeous!! Love the image the papers you have teamed it with are just perfect!! the sentiment works really well!! just such a lot of fun!
Ooooh, I'm with ya on that one! And believe me, the older you get, the worse it gets. It's true. Love the card and the coloring is SUPER. Have a great day!
Yep! Count me in too! Love DF and Sassafras together. This is sooo much fun and the colors are super!
