Here is the card I made:
Here is the card I made:
I think there is plenty of roundness going on there :o) The background has been created using different sized circle punches and the monster has been stamped onto die cut circle.
Now for a confession (yep - another one!) - I had a little clean-up in my craft room this week and came across some stamps that I had totally forgotten about that have probably been in my cabinet for at least a couple of years and once again, not a spot of ink has been on them (hanging my head in shame - yet again - lol) and this is one of them.

The recipe for the card is:
Stamp: I have no idea as its been tucked away for so long (sorry) but if anyone can tell me that would be great.
Cardstock & Circles: All Core'dinations from Crafter's Companion (love this card a lot)
The image has been coloured with Copics:
Body: B05 B04 B02 R24 R22 R21 E44 E43 E42
Shading & Outline: W3 W2 W1 W0
Everything has been edged in "Weathered Wood" distress ink.
Yuk - can you see what looks like a scratch mark at the top of the image - well this was a tiny piece of a hair that was on my Big Shot when I cut this little monster out - just shows how good those machines are at picking up the tiniest of details. I must admit though it looks worse on the photos then it does in real life.
Now for a little close-up of the scales:
To achieve this effect all I have done is wait for the image to dry a little and then using the Blender Pen, just pressed lightly so it disperses the ink - I was quite chuffed with the outcome even if I do say so myself - heh heh.

I hope you all have a totally fantastic weekend and thank you for popping by and having a look.
Take care and be safe.
