monster love

i don't know why i'm racing to submit this card, but i am! how does this happen?? time just slipped away from me!
luckily danielle from girlracer scrap and i skype-scrapped tonight and i was able to get a little crafty in a short amount of time! but i'm thankful for even that!

anyway, the card that i squeaked out tonight is for the playdate cafe and their color splash challenge:
the card is also for a chance at paper smooches to be a guest designer!! super exiting!



the most exciting thing to me is that i was able to get my paper smooches stamps a little more inky! and obviously, the 'color splash' i chose was pink! :) here's the card, in all it's glory:


i like it, because the monster is in love with the apple! or maybe he just thinks he's in love because he's hungry! either way, it's meant to be light-hearted and cute! :) you may not notice at first glance, but i altered the monster stamp from paper smooches. the stamp has the monster's hand going up and down (with the hand towards the bottom), but i altered it so the hand was going to the side (like he was reaching for the apple) and i even added another arm! all i did was ink up the monster and then us a baby wipe to wipe away the ink from the arm. then i stamped the image. then i inked up the stamp again, and used the baby wipe to remove all the rest of the monster except for the arm. rinse and repeat for two arms! :)


the heart is also from the 'falling for you' stamp set from paper smooches, it's the stained glass looking heart, but i just flocked pink all over it!

well, that's my card, in a flash! :) i hope it made you giggle!
enjoy!

  5. EAK! This is so cute! Can I touch the heart? Can I? I didn't even get a sneak peak at this last night, ugh! i do like how you reversed the color splash and made it more the background instead of the foreground!
