lovey dovey sketchy wetchy*

thus i have created THE WORST POST TITLE in the entire history of blogging. in fact, i think it may well turn out to be the worst post title in the entire FUTURE of blogging, also. which means for the rest of you, the pressure's off. forever. (you're welcome!) ♥

ok, so i started out (very late, of course) using kazan's sketch #21 (from last week) over at 2S4Y:

and then...my card sort of morphed away from the sketch...you know, the way my cards tend to do...and then it morphed back a bit. (like many of my midweek creations, the process stretched over a couple of nights; often it's 8pm before i even get to sit down...but i like to do a little *something* at least) eventually, i settled on this. i used a transparency, some rubs, a ghost heart and a bunch of embellies, so it's fairly flat, while still having LOTS of layers. i'm kinda proud of that, actually.

oof, at some point i should probably SHOW the card, right?! sorry. here ya go:

(patterned paper: bo bunny; cardstock, border sticker & border rub-on: basic grey; glossy black cardstock: ranger; transparency: hambly; diamond rub-on, fuzzy flower rubs & ghost heart: heidi swapp; blingy flourishes: prima; grungeboard wings: tim holtz (they are inked & painted w/glossy sealer); other: colorbox inks, sharpie pen, 3m foam tape)

unusually for me, i even got a bit fancy INSIDE the card: i stamped, i inked, i colored...heck, i ever tried *shading*!!! i was inspired by miss kristie, amongst others, whose sterling work recently reminded me HOW COOL a decorated inside-of-the-card is!

(journaling spot & happy stamp: heidi swapp; clear sticker: CK; winged heart stamp: pink paislee; other: colorbox & ranger inks; tombow markers, prismacolor pencils)

i *might* even stamp a bit on the envelope, as well, but we will see how long my ambition lasts!


*if you happen to have seen my favorite doctor who episode, "blink" you might realize that i have stolen a line from that...adapted it to papercrafting...and made it even sillier than it already was. (which is saying something!) yes indeedy, it's an achievement i shall cherish for many years to come! :)
