This crab is part of the Pretty Cute Stamp's Moody Crabs set, and the sentiment is from Pretty Cute Stamp's Coffee Faces. Disclaimer: I won a gift certificate from Pretty Cute Stamps back during the last Coffee Lover's blog hop, and they really are so cute!
The crab was colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, then fussy cut. He has glossy accents on his eyes. The background was squished and squashed with inexpensive watercolors from Michael's. The background on the main panel was stamped with a coffee bean and cup stain from The Alley Way Stamp's Breakfast Club.
Finally, the sentiment was stamped on a Sketchy Banner tag from Simon Says Stamp.
This is how I felt when staying at my cousin's house a decade or so back. I got over the trauma but I still remember it vividly.

So cute. He caught my eye and I had to pop over. I can understand why he looks so distressed. Hugz
