Bizzy Becs Creatalicious Challenge #1 – 2nd entry

Hi everyone!

We were talking at my card buffet about “obsessive compulsive” behaviour – one of my stamping friends had just completed a survey on Facebook to see how obsessive compulsive she was!!! We actually decided that a good stamper had to be at least a little obsessive compulsive!!! 😉 Now … I happen to think absolutely ANYONE can stamp (truly) … BUT … I also think that there is a little bit of obsessive compulsive in all of us … particularly when we craft!!! What do you think?? ❓

Why am I telling you this??? Well … here is an example of me being a little “obsessive compulsive”!!!

Yes … it is another entry for the Bizzy Becs #1 challenge … and I just had to do a 2nd entry because I really wasn’t happy with the first!!! Do you think that is a little OC??? So … am I happier for doing this one??? Absolutely!!! 😀 😉 I haven’t pulled my Wanted stamp set out for AGES!!! But … it is perfect for a male card!!! I have used a mask for the moon and sponged the blue and green ink around first … then added a little mustard & cocoa. After I took the mask off I stamped the horse and added a little choc chip sponging around his feet and a little more mustard sponging on the moon! I was pleased with the effect. Card recipe is listed below post! 🙂

Remember: this challenge had to have – 1. Something brown, 2. Something metal & 3. Be for your dad! Click on the challenge button to check out all the other entries!!!
