I've got that Shania Twain song running through my head as I'm writing this post. If you're wondering why, it's because I've done a bit of stamp altering on today's card that makes me chuckle.
You see... as soon as I got the new Wild Sprout Eric and really looked at him, I thought that with the addition of some feminine features his hair could also work for a stylin' trendy girl. So I inked him up and used a baby wipe to erase his eyes, eyebrows and mouth before I stamped the image on my cardstock. Then I just followed the steps outlined in the altering tutorials that I have linked in my sidebar to trace Dee Dee's eyes and Charlotte's mouth onto the blank face. After that I just colored the new 'her' up, lopped off 'her' head and attached it to digi Wild Sprout Charlotte's body and voila! Meet Eric's twin sister, Erica... LOL! :)
As you can probably tell, I was having a real good time playing mix and match on this one. ;)
And besides the altering the rest of the card came together really quickly. I just ripped a sheet out of a Making Memories notebook, cut it to size then added the rub-on sentiments and gems. Quick and easy!
Oh and one more thing before I sign off for today... I've still not heard back from one of last week's candy winners.
pixie sparkle, you have until this Saturday, April 17th to contact me at pete_danger@hotmail.com with your mailing addy and claim your candy. If I don't hear from you by then a new winner will be chosen and announced on Sunday's post.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Tonight's the night my fellow Gleeksters, can you stand it?! I'm positively giddy with excitement! I say bring on the music and witty banter... Glee is back baby! :)
Hopefully my work day will fly by so I can dive right back into good old McKinley High. ;)
Toodles!
