Inspirational Wednesday: What's Up Dude

 Hello Krafty Friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

Krafty Girl Melanie here as your hostess this week!

My card features this cool guy from our What's Up Dude stamp set. I started by creating an inked background using our Brick Wall stencil. I first inked a panel of Neenah cardstock in our Granite Grey ink. Next I placed the stencil and inked over it with Ruby Red ink. To "grunge" up the bricks, I then added touches of Marvellous Mocha and Wicked Black ink while the stencil was still in place. After removing the stencil, I further distressed the brick by sponging around the edges with more brown and black ink, added some black coloured pencil and finally splattered some black acrylic paint to complete the wall. I stamped the sentiment from the set in Wicked Black ink to look like graffiti. I then sketched in the sidewalk and coloured it with copics. Our "dude" was stamped on a separate piece of Neenah cardstock in Totally Taupe ink, coloured with Copics, fussy cut and adhered to the background.
