TioT - Fantasy

 
Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge theme is "Fantasy". For this challenge I  didn't go with fairies, unicorns, monsters or troll, but a fantasy world where an octopus is wearing a hat. I think the image is so cool, it's from Aall&Create and it's brand new to me. I think it's perfect for a male recipient.
I used purple, blue and green Distress inks and used a stencil with a baby wipe to lift some of the color off. I also I used a text stamp on parts of the background. The photo doesn't show it well, so I tried to do a close up photo as well. I added one leftover paper strip, some cheese cloth and a few Pinkfresh Studio Ombré Starry Sky bling.
 
This card is also for:
Creative Crafting Uncles - #44 Animals
I Spy With My Little Eye - Anything Handmade for Boys or Men

I decided to make a second nd similar card using another image from the same stamp set and the same supplies. I masked off the whale and colored it with water and grey distress ink
