Eek!

I'm guest designing over at House of Cards' April Challenge Part 2 which is a sketch in either CAS or Classic/Elegant styles.  I created the plain white version originally and made many iterations of the color scheme.  Notice how I placed the "eek!" beneath the larger monster to draw the eye; this allowed me to one-layer the sketch rather than use a mat or something like that.  I love the punny sentiment; puns always make me smile.

Anyway, I had the card on my desk the other day and promptly dropped the lid of my inkpad smack dab on it.  @#*$%!    No way to cover that up so I did it a few more times to create my own background.  I rather like the second version better.  What do you think?

The Details:  Crafter's Companion white cardstock, Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock, Spectrum Noirs, Memento Tuxedo Black and London Fog, printed the interior sentiment on my computer, Technique Tuesday Monsters Ink stamps

I'm entering this in Less is More #168 Makes Me Smile!, Crafting Cafe One for the Boys, Simon Says Wednesday Animal Antics, Seize the Birthday without topping

    What a fun card! I love that you "saved" your card after the ink cover dropping onto it. Now it looks like a fun, funky background!

    Great save on the dropped ink pad - I love a bit of grunge on backgrounds and the grunge works really well with your little monster theme. Thanks for joining us at Seize The Birthday!

    Way to make lemonade out of lemons! I do like the first CAS version better, but still, a great save.

    Welcome at House of Cards Toni.
    Your card makes me die laughing! It is really too funny. I do not know if you say so in English, but here in France we do.
