SOSS #134 - What the ****?

May the Fourth be with you blah blah blah..... and if that leaves you thinking "What the ****?"  then you're not alone, because that's what Edna's been thinking too. Which means it's also the theme for our new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.



I just had to play with these stamps I've recently bought,  Precious Pets from The Card Hut,  because to me that is exactly what the look on the dog's face says.


And let's face it, wouldn't you say that if you were woken up by having fish bones flung at you by a wily looking cat?  The cat is from the same stamp set, the sentiment is from Rubber Dance and the fish bones just a random loose stamp that floats around in my stash. The speech bubble - oh, the speech bubble! I wanted to use a speech bubble stamp and searched through my stash but could only find a couple, but with words inside them, too close to the edges to be cut away. Anyway, this seemed to be the right size so I masked the words before inking the stamp - and then forgot to remove the mask before stamping so I got a big black blob in the middle. And I did that twice over...  Eventually  I got it right, and thank goodness I had done it on separate paper and not directly on to the card.

The wall is stencilled and all the colouring done with pencils.

Now, let's see what you make of the theme - and of course of the work of the rest of the sistahs. You may find yourself crowned Queen or Princess of Snark.

I am sharing this with
