I Am The One Who Knocks!

 Yes, it's me again! FYI: Between now and Saturday, I may be posting more than once a day! I try not to do that, but I have a backlog of stuff to share. Today is my annual Breaking Bad parody. I've made a 4x6" piece for Sunday Postcard Art's new theme "Skulls" (which makes me caught up again for a few days). Then I added a card base and made it into a 4x6" greeting card.

A few years back, I made my first BB card, copying a trend I'd seen on Pinterest. And every year I've made another one, using the same papers and images. (I keep the outside and inside sentiments, skull and hat files in a subfolder on my computer.) This year, I made it as a 4x6" postcard, then I discovered I needed a few more Halloween cards to mail off, so I added it to a card base.

No hand-stamping on the front or coloring, just paper layers, fussy-cutting and a little edge tool-distressing. I love that the colorful lines of the base mat peeking out coupled with the Spanish style hat makes it look Mexican to me. There were some unsavory Mexican characters in Breaking Bad, so HEY Serendipity!

Now, on the inside I did hand-stamp a few Third Coast Stamps Halloween images along with the computer-generated and printed out sentiment. 

And on the back I hand-stamped a Lost Coast siggie stamp and colored it with Promarkers and Sakura Metallic gel pen. 

I loved that TV series. The subject matter was sleezy and at times depressing, but it was edgy and well-written, and the performances were just too good to miss. If you've never seen it, do stream it! I always recommend it and Mad Men unconditionally. Both, from start to finish. :-)

Thanks for visiting and stay well and safe! XXO
