The challenge is to use wedding or school colors and went with good old BHS colors - purple and white. And I chose the clip which was another request of the challenge.
I liked the song Purple People Eater when I really, really small so I chose this silly image to carry out my card idea. If you want to hear the silly 1958 song click .
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used for coloring my monster using the Gamsol techniqueÂ…the oil replaces the Gamsol.
-For the Cuttlebug negative effect embossing technique - click here.
-Nestabilites were used to cut the squares and I offset a couple panel to give it a more funky appearance.
-The sentiment is heat embossed.

Unfortunately I don't need the website as I can still sing it by memory! Once it's there, it's forever, I guess! Love your purple monster card and thanks for the story too, Roxie!
