I am freaking determined to win a Simon Says Stamp Challenge some day. ROFL I try hard to get the limit of 5 projects entered into each of them each week, but I don't always make it. This is my 4th entry for the Wednesday challenge this week. I love that they almost always have a real challenge theme instead of "anything goes" - I mean, those can be cool but I like to actually be challenged! Here's today's card:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Four Legged Friends
Polkadoodles #36 - Anything Goes
Two Old Bats - Anything Halloween Goes
Crafter's Cafe - Anything Goes/Add an Animal
We Love to Create - Anything Goes
So I purchased some new watercolor paper, and it was NOT the same one I purchased last time, and I was slightly disappointed. It's supposed to be white but it's more off-white - but after I played with it, I realized it's also thicker and sturdier than the white one that I purchase. Anyway, I used the "rough" side of the paper to create this background, you can really see the texture showing through - I used Distress Inks and a stencil, then spritzed with some Tim Holtz Mica Spray Stain. My image is a digi from Polkadoodles, colored with alcohol markers. I wasn't thrilled with how the sentiment stamped out, but it does look kind of grungy and like it belongs, so I left it alone. LOL Thanks for visiting! Peace.
Hello again, Jenn! I think the textural paper makes a great card base and love the colors you added to it. The smoothness of the little cat image makes a nice contrast. Thanks for this additional entry to our Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge!
