Simply Betty is one of Smeared & Smudged's fabulous sponsors for the month of July! The DT even got to play with the awesome My Kids Emo World stamps! Betty herself challenged us to "Get Grungy with Simply Betty Stamps!"
"What's up DUDE?"
Close-up of the sentiment:
Close Up of the Dragon:
My skater dude, Christian, was stamped and colored with Copic markers. The dragon was coated with a layer of Crackle Accents. The sentiment was created with Karen Foster smiley brads ("What's Up?") and metallic ribbon letters. The patterned paper (all Basic Grey) was tattered, scratched, torn, and inked. I even rolled the wheels of a finger skateboard in ink and then onto the gray solid-ish paper. I added a gazillion staples using my Tiny Attacher (Idea-ology), which I love!
Now that you've seen my take on the challenge, visit the other Smeared & Smudgers blogs. Remember to take part in the challenges at Smeared & Smudged to have a chance of winning some of these cool stamps.
Here's the hop list!
