I made the monster below for this week's Hambo Hoedown and CPS Sketch #238. The challenge is to use a technique on the card that begins with the first letter of your first name. My mind immediately went to TIE-DYE! Epic genius, right? Fail. The idea sounded so fantastic in my head.
I got the card colored and hated it. At this point, I was committed. So, thanks to the gaudy tie-dye and a horrid watercolor mixture it is *insert introductory trumpets* THE.UGLIEST.CARD.EVER. Now I {puffy heart} it. Ok, no...really don't. It's terrible.
Seriously, though? Committed, so here it is.
I'm not even going to provide a supply list...because you don't want to make this card. However, don't let this horrific execution fool you. Flower Monster is adorable when used properly. If you *love* him as much as I do, head on over to Hambo and pick him up.

Tara, don't be so hard on yourself, because I think your card turned out adorably! And holy moly TIE DYE?!?! What an awesome idea :) I think this little monster looks great as a hippie ;) Thanks for playing along this week at the Hoedown!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing right now, because I totally came over here from the little linky picture at the Hoedown...I thought, WOW! How cool is that little tie dye Monster!? I have to get the details...lol! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I love your creative genius :) Thanks for playing along with us this week...
ReplyDeleteThis is so funky, I LOVE IT!! You can't hate it, it's wonderfully unique! Thanks for joining us at Hambo Stamps, hope you join us again.
ReplyDeleteThank you, ladies. I would like to say that I kept him and posted him (even mailed him!) because the awfullness grew in me so much that I couldn't help but love this ugly little thing. :0 D
ReplyDeleteI think you are being very hard on yourself, because this is adorable! Thanks for playing at CPS this week!! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteIt made me throw up in my mouth a little.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding! I think it is really cute and I'm am impressed with your imagination and taking those ideas and doing them. :)
Tara, you are crazy!! I ADORE this card! It really stood out in the little thumbnails and I had to come right over, just like Karin, to see more. I love this idea and think you nailed the tie dye look perfectly! (And the Hoedown challenge too!) So glad to see you back this week!
ReplyDeleteI think your monster would take the "ugliest card ever" comment as a compliment...monsters aren't supposed to be "cute," are they?! :) I think he's rather adorable (but don't tell him I said that...)!
