Can't Get "Ogre" You

Isn't it funny how sometimes the finished product is nothing like you envisioned it. That's what happened with this card, but I love how it turned out. Hambo Hoedown Challenge #11 was to use this cute Orge - digi and one of the sentiments to make a  card with some distressing on it somewhere. I very rarely do any distressing on my cards so this was a change for me, but change is good. I used my scissors to distress the edges of the card stock and tore out the sentiment. I decided to leave the ogre uncolored to give him a sketchy look. I outlined him with a C1 Copic to give him a little dimension and sponged around him with Cameo Coral. IMHO he looks quite handsome on the embossed heart background!
