Hello, crafty friends! I'm here today to share with you my make for the current Freebie Friday at Bugaboo...but first, let me show you a picture of this visitor in my craft room:
Isn't this pretty? After asking a friend, I discovered that it's a Buckeye butterfly. I honestly thought it was a moth, since it was flying around at night. I'll tell you, I have seen so many more bugs lately than I really care to! We have been working on replacing our siding, and there are all kinds of spiders living just under our roof! *shudder* Just this evening, I discovered an orb spider nestled on the soffit. I made sure it stayed put! This week, I made a trip into the local urgent care facility for several spots on my left arm and upper chest area that looked like bites of some kind that seemed to be giving me some kind of reaction that was spreading like a rash. They didn't know what bit me, but they gave me a prescription for some cream that seems to be working very well to reduce my reaction. I hate bugs!
Ok enough of that, now onto my card:
This week's freebie is called flspookday. I think these monsters look pretty friendly, don't you? I don't think they would scare me one bit! I printed this digi out to be pretty large (4 3/16 inches), so it was very easy to color with my alcohol markers. I did have some trouble with Frankie's face, getting the 2 greens I used to blend, but I figure it adds to his "monsterness." LOL I added some sparkle to the image using Gelly Roll Clear Star pen on the stars and the sentiment. The guys' eyes were all coated with Glossy Accents for that fresh outta the coffin/laboratory look. Hehehe. I don't have any Halloween themed patterned papers (GASP!), so I cut into a green glitter paper to adhere to the base, a miscellaneous brand of orange striped paper, and the black is from the Hopscotch Colorbok 12x12 pad. DONE.
