It's time for Try it on Tuesdays weekly challenge. This week being the first week of the month is a card challenge and this week we are sponsored by One Stop Card Crafts.

And The theme this week is chosen by the lovely Georgina. She would like to see "weird and wonderful" on your card creations.

So I started off with the idea on the top with the Skeleton shopping. I did not put a sentiment as I am not sure what I will be using it or yet. For this card I clear embossed the Time Holtz Skeleton Stamp on white card. I then used Dylusions spray inks and a mask on the background. there is also some stamping with Tim holtz Floral flourish in black. The skirt is a bit of Crepe paper coloured with Promarkers and the hat is a bit of mesh also coloured. I made the shopping bags from card and added the strings.

Now I was not sure is I liked that card when it was done so I tried another. But then I began to like the first one too and now I cannot decide which I like better.

This one I masked off bits of the stamps and used the face from Stampotique Crafter, Wings from Aspect of Design Butterfly and legs from Tim Holtz small bird. I then coloured it with promarkers. The background is coloured blue and stamped with the floral grass stamp from Tim Holtz. I added Smooch ink to accent white flowers on bits. It is then layers on a stamped background and finished with a bow. This card also does not have a sentiment yet.

I tend to leave my sentiments until later because I always find myself changing them if I do set them.

So Which one do you like?
