Hi!

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by
 
Today I bring you a challenge card for Your Next Stamp.  This is challenge #44 submission.
 
Here is the challenge criteria
 
  
 
 
First I took a card base that was 4.25 x 5.5 and cut 1/4 inch from 2 sides.  I like to have a small background to pop some color.  I then took from Paint Swooshes the small and large paint splats with Brutus Monroe ink (Cornflower, Speckled Egg and Jack-o-Lantern).  I randomly placed these knowing some would be covered up to follow the challenge criteria. 
 
I then took watercolor paper (and I do need to say this isn't my favorite for using my Zig markers).  If you have the Zig markers or thinking about them.. watercolor paper is key to having you love them.  I stamped with Archival black from Silly Monsters Incognito ONE the body and face.  I then used my Zig Clean Brush Markers to make him orange.  I then stamped HI from the Silly Monsters Incognito TWO on the watercolor paper.  Using the MISTI for this is crucial for me as watercolor paper I never get a great first impression.
 
I then adhered this all together and added 2 googly eyes to my monster.   A quick and simple card that is off in the mail today! 
 
This card is entered into the Your Next Stamp Challenge #44
