This is my DT submission for the FB challenge for Dr Digi's House of Stamps. This time around we are looking for Anything But A Card, and I've chosen to colour up Alistair theAlligator, which you can find here.
To complete the box, I first applied two coats of gesso, followed by an application of Wild Honey Distress stain. This didn't quite cover all the print, so I then rubbed some Walnut Distress stain in a circular motion...and this was the result. I was quite surprised.
I then stamped some grasses and some insects, all around, and used some washi tape for a bit of contrast. Mr Gator, has been edged in black and adhered with foam tabs. He seems quite pleased with the result....giving me a thumbs up. lol
Here's hoping you can join in with the challenge this month, and looking forward to peeking at your creations. Thanks for visiting.
