Weirdos

As soon as I saw Taylor’s latest sketch challenge, I knew what I wanted to do with it. It came out just like I imagined it, too!

I thought that all of the little squares arranged in a 3x3 grid would be a perfect fit for the mini sized creatures in the DoodleFactory Creatures II set from Starving Artistamps. I stamped each creature in black ink and colored them with Copic markers in a variety of colors for fun. After punching out each one with a 1 3/8" square punch, I arranged them in the grid pattern on the cardfront. Since I had a lot of different colors going on, I picked a pretty simple black paper with white polka dots for the cardfront. The images really stand out nicely against the black.

The set’s sentiment is stamped on a circle panel and embellished with a small bow. It’s layered over a few of the creatures, but I think you still get the idea!
