Prepping for Papercrafting Fun!

Hello All!

I am super excited- I am getting ready to go on the Stamp Junkies Retreat in Minneapolis; me and about 129 other papercrafters!  Not sure how much crafting I will get done, but I know I will get to meet many of my stampy idols.  I will be driving up with my stampy friend, Ceal.  Look out, MN, here we come!

Today's card is a simple one layer card using good old fashioned masking and sponging. 


I used distress inks and Technique Junkies Octopus Face Stamp.  If you are wanting to purchase this stamp, use code TJ10LeeAnn to save 10%.

I masked off the sentiment and stamped the octopus with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Next, I made a mask for the octopus and masked off the middle section of the card base.  I sponged on Distress inks in Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass and Blue Print Sketch.  Splashed on some water to cause the ink to react.
Next, I masked the image off as well as parts of the sentiment and stamped the sentiment in two parts- to the upper left and lower right of the color block.  I have never had an octopus on my face, lol.  How about you? 
Lastly, the octopus was colored with Copics.  As usual, I added sequins for some sparkle.
