Midnight Minx & Proud Hooligan

 Hello friends!  Here's your yearly reminder to schedule your mammogram if you haven't already! I am going for mine at 4:00 this afternoon.  I've got 2 friends who are currently fighting breast cancer and several more who have had to in the past, I don't mess with this stuff. Just do it!

I have 2 cards to share today!  Here is the 1st one:



I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Color Throwdown #824


Make My Monday #242 - Fave 2024 Challenge (Wild Animals)

Just Us Girls #757 - Word Week (Masculine)

I created my background by blending a light gray ink through a moon phases stencil.  My stamps are from Funky Fossil - stamped directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with a sparkly clear embossing powder.

.................................................................................................

And here's my 2nd card for today:



I'd like to enter this one into the following challenges:

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - Never Been Used Before (stamp set)

The Crafter's Cafe #314 - Monochrome

The Paper Funday #72 - Anything Goes/Optional Monochromatic

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Something New

I created my background by blending several shades of brown Distress Inks on watercolor paper and spritzing with water.  I stamped my Hooligan (Ink Road Stamps) on Kraft Paper with Scorched Timber Distress Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I fussy-cut him and attached him with foam dimensional tape to a strip of Kraft cardstock. Peace.

  6. "Proud Hooligan"....I think we could all relate to that title at some point in our lives!!! :-) I like how you did the background and the interesting pattern it made. Thanks for the inspiration - I want to try that technique! We're happy you shared your card with the group at PIP Challenges this week!! And we're looking forward to seeing what you create throughout 2025! Have a great week!

The sentiment on the second card is too perfect!!Thanks for playing along with the MMM challenge. I hope to see you in the gallery for our first challenge of 2025! Sue - DT
