This week Simply Betty Stamps is proudly sponsoring the Smeared and Smudged challenge. The theme is "Getting Grungy" and using a metal element on your card. After I'd made my card I was also told to use black and grey - well I do have the black covered and if you accept the touch of grey in his hair I'm fine - LOL.
The event is also a blog hop so if you've come here via Lisa's blog then you've done well - if you want to start back at the beginning then Terra's blog is the place to be.
I used the handsome young Miller here and mixed him with some My Mind's Eye DP which I screwed up, flattened out and smooshed ink over. I also distressed all the edges to grunge them up a bit more too. The metal element is a swirl paper clip which I've attached a key ring charm too. I've also used a jumbo brad in the centre of the sentiment.
I love Miller's little lizard friend - he's too cute and adds a touch of colour to my card! Don't forget these guys are available for sale at Simply Betty Stamps and are FABULOUS for all sorts of occasions - especially for teenagers I've found!
I believe I'm the last stop on the hop - Betty had a family emergency but will post her card later - so we hope you enjoyed the ride and are inspired to join in the challenge!!!
