Here's my card featuring Toby (Daniel Torrente) and a hat from Hat Cube (Daniel Torrente).

Toby and the bowlerish hat from Hat Cube were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (Tsukineko/Imagine Crafts) onto 140 lb. Mixed Media cardstock (Strathmore), colored with Copic markers, fussy-cut, then edged with a Black Pitt pen (Faber Castell). A mustache and some additional hair were drawn onto Toby, the bowlerish hat was adhered, and a thin piece of cardstock was cut, colored with Copics, then adhered to Toby's hand to complete  Toby's transformation to Charlie Chaplin. Toby/Charlie was set aside while I worked on the background for him.
 
Cerulean Blue Media Fluid Acrylic (MFA) paint (DecoArt) was sponged over onto a piece of 140 lb. Mixed Media cardstock. Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue Hue, Pthalo Blue, and Prussian Blue Hue MFA paints were randomly sponged over top. Diarylide Yellow, Quinacridone Red, and Titanium White MFA paints were stippled on with a Rough Stippling Tool (Momenta/Art C).  This was allowed to thoroughly dry.

When it was dry, my Old Film Mixed Media stencil (Andy Skinner/DecoArt) was taped to the cardstock with Washi tape and the top two designs of the stencil were covered. Carbon Black MFA paint was sponged over the Charlie Chaplin filmstrip design. The stencil was lifted and positioned so that the number strip was at the top edge of the cardstock. Again, the stencil was taped down, the other designs were covered, and Carbon Black MFA paint was sponged over the numbers. The stencil was lifted and washed.

The sentiment was die-cut from white cardstock using the Typewriter Uppercase and Typewriter Lowercase Font dies (Impression Obsession). I had to use my old Mini Katie font (QuicKutz) for the apostrophes and for the exclamation point. 

The painted, stenciled cardstock was trimmed to size, the sentiment was added, and Toby/Charlie was adhered. The card front was adhered to a 6x6 black card and I called it done!
