DS88: My Little Monster!

Thursday, February 7, 2013

Whaaaat?!? Seriously?! How'd it get to be Thursday already?! Man, this week is flying by!

But it's not all bad....tomorrows Friday and the weekend is just around the corner! :) But before we get there, I've got another Deconstructing Sketch to share with you all!

Another awesome sketch, right?? If the circle base scares you, or like me, you don't have dies or cutters large enough to cut a circle base, you can use a square one - just as long as all the other elements are there!

Last Friday was family movie night, so we watched the cute Hotel Transylvania that just came out on DVD. We also watched a documentary on how the Uglydoll creators made their millions, so I had monsters on the brain when I made this card! lol

I have had this Recollections stamp set in my drawer for FOREVVVVVER! I spied it at my local Michaels store and it was one of those impulse buys (I love me some cute monsters!). But I have never inked it up until now! Me bad. :( Sad, I know. I used my SU reinkers to color Mr. Monster up, then sponged some grey sky in the background using the Rosies Roadshow Cloud Template. Each panel was sponged with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Ink, and sewed to some black cardstock. To pull it all together, I couldn't resist adding some jute twine and a button (because I've been lacking in that department this week! lol).

I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week! It really is a fun sketch to play with!

See you all tomorrow!
