It's finally here! JUST in case you hadn't heard about this through the grave-vine, the awesome
Skull-A-Day blog has declared June 4th to be forever-more
Skull Appreciation Day
:) For the full deets on this, check out
THIS POST at S.A.D.
To help spread the word and share a little skulliness (that would be skull happiness) with the masses,
Smeared Ink has organized a fabulous blog hop for us creative & crafty types ;) AND there are a ton of prizes to be won along the way! For the full details, list of sponsors & prizes, or if you get lost along the way, just pop over to
Terra's blog! Be prepared to see some fan-freakin'-tastic skull action throughout this hop... a myriad of artists and craftsman have created some terrific works!
If you've arrived here from
Dianne's blog, you are right on track.
I'll warn you up front... this card is super simple and not nearly as cool as a lot of the other creations you'll see, but it uses my all-time favorite skull rubber stamp from Artful Illusions (in Wichita, Kansas). Love love L.O.V.E. this stamp:

It's so large that it doesn't leave much room for anything else on the card ;) I heat embossed the background with some Inkadinkado stamps, crumpled & distressed it all. Then I used some Copper Shimmer spray... which is quite delightful, I must say.
I stamped the image, used BG99, BG96 & BG93 Copics to add a little POP to the image before cutting it out and popping it up.
