For my card today, I've gone a very clean and simple route. I started by taking the Clawed 6x9 stencil and added some grey ink through some of the portions onto a piece of light grey card stock. I then took one of the images and sentiments from the ATC Hiss Off set and stamped them over top of the stenciling. 

I trimmed this panel down, added it to a piece of black card stock, and then added it to an A2 card base made with the same light grey card stock. 


 Here is the full list of hop participants in case you get lost on the way. 


Your next stop on the hop is my friend Iris.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visit and crafty hugs! ~ Alanna
