For the challenge today we were to use only acrylic stamps. I wanted to show the difference between no acrylic and acrylic, thus the "before" and "after" title. My inspiration came from a cartoon today. Guess that kind of tells you where my head is at! LOL So, without further ado, here are the details......
On w/c paper I drew my fat cartoon cow, colored him with re-inkers, versa marked and clear eb him. The other very nice shaped cow, was stamped using my acrylic stamp from MFT. It was colored the same way, versa marked and clear eb. Cut both of my cows out.
Made a bg scene of sorts. Sponged meadow for the grass on the bottom, ripped some paper for a mountain stencil and sponged peeled paint. Sponged the clouds using my cloud stencil, sponged soft sky for a little color.
Cut my bg using a curvy cutter, doodled edges. Put my split panels on a white card sponged mountain rose. Popped up the tops of both cows and added the sentiments that I did on the computer and cut out with the word punch. Well, hope this isn't toooo plain for ya!.....TFL :0)

This is just too funny! I really like the way your mind works, lol. I tend to see situations as cartoons. Even my pets have all had cartoon names. Really super card!
