That Sucks...

Hi all and good morning! I want to share a card with you that I made using the current sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch #194, and since I used Paper Smooches stamps, I'll add this one to the current Sparks - Anything Goes challenge:


Here is the inside:

Based my card from this sketch:


I have a bat theme going on all over this card. See the gray DP with the black bats? Those bats are flocked! Awesome! I keep petting this card! Hahahaha!! Found the perfect sentiment to go with that cute hanging bat image! LOL! I really wanted to stamp an arrow that had a 90 degree angle to it, but I couldn't find one, so I went with the straight arrow above the sentiment. The branch was masked (badly) from a tree image and didn't come out dark enough, so I went over it with a marker. Glossy Accents was added to the eyes.

This past weekend I stamped a bunch of images and colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers. I think I'm starting to get the hang of how alcohol markers work. (But I'm still a work in progress!) ;) You'll see more in future posts.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for hanging out with me! Have a fabulous day!

Craft on my friends!

adding pinterest script 3. Changing the Position of the Pin it! button The cool thing about this code is that you have some freedom over where the Pinterest button for Blogger will go over the image. Take a look at the code that you just copied and pasted into the HTML for the word 'center'.
