STAMPlorations - Stencil Sunday

It's the last Sunday this month and my turn

to create for STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday.

I bought some of the Distress Oxide inks and wanted to play with them.

I made a pair of ATC with those inks, kraft ATC base, gel pen and

Flutterby and Happy Flowers stencils, 

words are from Artful Flutters stamp set.

So I took my Inktense pens and this adorable House Mouse image.

Got it done just before bedtime, :=D

Keep your temper, ATC

So today I'm showing the third and last of the

set of ATC's I made for Gecko Galz Alice challenge.

Using Gecko Galz freebie, colored with Copics

Background is a digital paper from Lozzy, set "It' Dark".

I think this solder has been so sloppy with his painting job,

that he wishes the Red Queen would keep her temper ... LOL

Here's all 3 ATC's in same photo:

Love how the "mood" of the card changes, 

just depending what colors I used.
