It's that time again... Simply Betty Stamps blog has got a new challenge for the month! Yeah, you have a whole month to come up with a card for a chance to be a Guest Designer! And as a Guest Designer, you'll be able to get your grubby mitts on new release images before anyone else... for free... that's what I'm talkin'bout :)
Let me start by saying this: they don't call them CHALLENGES for nothing. Yikes. I'm not really a "bright and colorful" kinda girl :) Especially not primary colors... those really scare me... and NOT in a good way :) So, I had to just suck it up and give it a shot... and this is what I came up with.
I think it works pretty good, right? I mean, I still had to get a little grungy with it... and maybe I over-did it a bit, but I thought I needed to tone it down a notch :) I'm VERY happy with how Christian turned out! The photos don't show it well, but the coloring worked out on this one :)
Rubber stamp: sentiment (retired TAC)
Paper: Bazzill, Neenah & misc. cardstocks
Ink: Noir Palette
Other: Copic markers, Scor-Bug, EK Success edger punch, Tim Holtz edge die, We R MM eyelets
Christian can also be purchased in cling mounted scroll cut rubber form... and right now he is only $6.75 instead of $9!! Can't beat that.
