RIC #31




I love this image. It has so many possibilities.



 I sat down and this is what happened.

After I was done I thought, who am I going to give this to?

I suppose you could switch out the monster for a flower or something, but then I felt like I was moving away from the inspiration and I had the perfect paper pack to go with this one.

The lesson? Sometimes your creativity leads you to a card with no purpose.

And the more I look at it, it kind of sounds insulting. "I am in awe of your monsterness." Sometimes I really need to just stop analyzing, but darn it, the switch doesn't shut off so easily!

  3. Wida, this card is really cute, and that includes the monster! I actually thought the expression of the monster perfectly matches the sentiment (he looks like he is in awe :D)
    You could give this to your blog crush ;)

  7. You really do crack me up! Sometimes cards exist just to exist and then one day .... it has a purpose, though monsters I am not so sure. Love it despite the monsters.

  25. Loving it! Sometimes you just need a monster on a card;) (I'm making that monster face as I type this BTW) Honk! XOXO

  26. That's the million dollar question isn't it? I love playing challenges too and I've asked that very same question so many times! But you got so many elements of the inspiration on there - the stripes, the bold color... and YES... Even the monster! Very cool!
