Steampunk Octopus All Occasion Card

 Hello!  I don't know when I last posted but I feel like it's been a while.  I do want to make sure to invite you to join this months Corrosive Challenge: Anything Goes!

I'm featuring Steampunk Octopus by Oddball Art Co.  I have several of their digis and find them fun to color and use.  For this card, I went with a watercolor background with different greens, black, and white.  I tried to splash paint on, a dear blog buddy told me to add a bit of water to the acrylic to make it splatter better....I'm fairly sure I put too much water in both the white and gold paints.  BUT, just when I though I ruined the watercolor background with the paint, I dabbed off the excess paint/water and I actually liked the effect!

I added a touch of glaze to his monocle, glasses and heart.  I also added a little glitter pen.  For the most part, I just wanted the octopus and background shine without too much more distraction.

Join in the Corrosive Challenge if you get a chance - there are still two more weeks left.  Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.

This meets the following challenges:  2 Crafty Critter Crazies : Anything Goes with a Critter, Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes, Digi Choosday: Anything Goes, and Crafty Creations: Anything Goes.

Thank you 2 Crafty Critter Crazies
