Thinking Of Hugs - ISSC07

Time for iSpy Challenge #07!  I was very excited to receive my stamps from The Alley Way Stamps yesterday.  They're such great quality stamps and so easy to work with.  I love how a lot of the sentiments are separated so you can make your own.  When I settled on using this little monster from Monster Mash, I thought he looked a bit cheeky, so I used words from Jibber Jabber to create my sentiment - "thinking of hugs".  Cute.  :-)  



The papers are from the My Minds Eye 6x6 Lost & Found Breeze pack from Craft-A-Lot and I used some more of the White Hemp Cord from the Ribbon Carousel on the lower corner.  I love that stuff!  It's really sturdy, easy to work with, and my favourite... inexpensive!

And here's the sketch based on this card from Holly McMillan:



I'm also entering the TAWS Be Inspired Challenge #2...


So.  You're probably doing a double take right now wondering how on earth I managed to get a green monster card from this inspiration photo!  That's one of the things I love about the TAWS Challenge - it's all about what you get out of the inspiration photo.  I looked at it, jotted down the colours and worked with the green.  It evolved into something very different to what I had planned, but it's inspired by the photo nonetheless! 

Speaking of interpretation, I love that the iSpy DT all have very different styles and come up with such different projects based on the same sketch.  Love it!  Head over to the iSpy Sketches Challenge blog to see their beautiful work.

And another one, why not?  :-)  Simon Says.... a BIT o' GREEN!
