Who Says Monsters Can't Be Cute?!?!

Oh how I love Frizzy Jynx! To me she is one of the cutest images by Krista Smith @ Saturated Canary! I never intended on using this Frizzy for a card. I was coloring with my 2 year old niece and wasn’t being very serious about it….just playing with color and technique since I’m fairly new to Copic coloring. In the end, I loved the way she turned out and knew I had to use her for the next Saturated Canary Challenge!

I colored Frizzy Jynx with Copics and then cut her out and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Antique Linen & Iced Spruce). I used AC Cardstock, roughed it up with an old nail file and then inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Antique Linen & Iced Spruce). The heart paper is from Paper Studio, B & W Doodle Hearts, also inked with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Antique Linen & Iced Spruce). The chipboard hearts are from Maya Road, inked with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Antique Linen & Iced Spruce) and treated with Studio G black glitter glue. The poison sign is cut out from Tim Holtz Halloween Haunts Paper Stash Kraft Resist. The memo pin is also from Tim Holtz. Yes, I love his products! The burlap, brads (also roughed up with an old nail file), and bakers twine are from my stash and have no idea where I got them, sorry! I created the sentiment, printed it, cut it, and inked it with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Antique Linen & Iced Spruce).


Thanks for looking! Have a great week! Gentle hugs! TTFN
