I felt bad not being able to fit Charlie Horse on my card yesterday. So he is my main focus today!!! This particular Charlie is new this month from Clear Dollar Stamps . Check it out!
.........details.......
I stamped Charlie, clear eb them colored with a re-inker. What's nice about re-inkers is that just by adding water you can change the light or dark of the color so it looks like you are using more than one color. Since I put this card in the CAS challenge, which was to use black and white and only ONE color, I had to do a dark and light version of only orange. Does all that make sense? It's a little early so my brain hasn't kicked in. I'm still a little surprised at my self for posting a card before work. How unusual for me. But oh so fun!
Used a squiggly coluzzle to cut the shape out. Sponged edges then doodled. Layered with black.
Made my bg dp by stamping my Mutnik circle over and over and over then clear ep'd it. I have trouble leaving white but I didn't want a dark color over the black dots so I did the toothbrush splattering over the panel.
Put this all on a white card, then doodled edges. Well, hope you like it........I am off to work but will be back checking out all your wonderful cards!............TFL :0)
