Ingenious Inkling

It Will Be Okay

When I join the Retro Rubber Challenge, I usually reach into my drawers of neglected wood mounted stamp. 

For today's card, I chose Bloop, a Robot from Starving Artistamps Urban Collection that I used on this card back in 2009.

 

The Retro Rubber Challenge is this great Sketch.

 

 

I used the hues from the Color Throwdown Challenge with one of my Alcohol Ink Gel Press Print for my golden yellow background.  I added some White Enamel Hearts from Eyelet Outlet and used a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Fresh Bloom Sentiment Strips.

 

 

Plan?

When I saw today's theme at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, I stopped in my tracks and immediately inked-up the new Starving Artistamps image on my studio table ... because you know I love my Monsters.  I used to have these stamps in red rubber, and was so glad to see them re-released in acrylic.

Sometimes card designs are thoughtful ... other times (like today) they are more like accidents.  I grabbed a piece of gray cardstock on my studio table (perhaps influenced by the grey background of the challenge graphic) and stamped with the Seedless Preserves Distress Ink that I hadn't yet put away from my prior project ... then I saw my set of The One With All The Stamps from The Ink Road (also not yet put away from a prior project) and a card was born.

All I had to do was go find my Googly Eyes and color the coffee/tea in his cup.
