There is something about the style and attitude of the Creeper Crew characters by The Greeting Farm that I just love. I have been lucky enough to pick up a few when they were on sale a few months ago, but I have not had a chance to color them up until today.
I decided to make an ATC (Artist Trading Card) for my friend Shann (YT: Art Junkie) for her 49th birthday using Wednesday because ShannĀ is just that kind of spirited, creative and funky friend who I think could identify with Wednesday. LOL
I started with a scrap of handmade paper that had irregular black splatter on a white background. To introduce some color and shimmer, I sprayed it with Recollections Simply Pastel spray ink in blue and silver. Ā Then I futzed with a bit of string to go behind Wednesday for a well-placed bit of artistic “mess”.
To give Wednesday a place to stand, I cut apart some black lace that I layered behind an antique bronze metal filigree. To add a little more sparkle I added some gun metal grey bling to the filigree. For a little laugh, I added a black rubber spider in the upper right corner. Lastly I added the abbreviated sentiment, “HB2U” (short for happy birthday to you), which is the way I think Wednesday would wish someoneĀ a happy birthday. š
I used the following Copic colors to color up Wednesday:
Hair: C7, C9 and B01
Skin: E50, 51 and 53 with R20 blush
Blue sweater: B32 and B95
Blue eyes: B95 and B97
Striped tights: C1, 3, 5, and 7
Shoes: C5, 7 and 9
White shirt: C1
I also added Glossy Accents to her eyes and her shoes for a little shine.

Your atc is adorable : )
This card is fabulous! It is so full of fun and a sassy attitude! You definitely did justice to the Wednesday image and your color choices were phenomenal. You nailed every detail and I was totally impressed by your creation of the base piece using lace. What a great card for Shann and I love how it’s so out of the box, yet still something that we can all relate to on some level. Great job on this and I’m so glad you shared it with us for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
Thanks so much for your really kind and thoughtful comment! I so appreciate it. In fact I sent a couple of ATC kits along with this completed ATC for my friend Shann and she loved the idea that she could make more in a very similar style. š Thanks for stopping by and for the fun challenge! Hugs, Kristina
