I bring you a very special project today. You are about to see The Original Li'l Grumpie. I made this little guy almost two years ago for my daughter. He was the inspiration behind the stamp set Li'l Grumpies (
Smeared Ink). He started it all....
So, to display The Original, i made a little trick-or-treat style bag. I started with a clear bag...
...and sprayed some glass frosting spray everywhere but a circle on the front. This created the little window for The Original to peak out. I stamped my Li'l Grumpie (
Smeared Ink) on white cardstock and colored him with Prismacolors. I used orange acrylic paint and bubble wrap for the texture on my bag and colored in between with a purple paint pen. Glue'd google eyes randomly on the outside, threw some yarn and a button into the mix, and here you go :)
Hope you love him as much as my daughter does! Thanks for stopping by! See ya tomorrow for day 6!!!
