TTSVC5!! Sam Merlotte!

Twilight Tuesday Sookie Stackhouse Challenge day!!

Here is our challenge...

"For the September edition of the Sookie/Southern Vampire Challenge (TTSVC5), we are going to ponder on the character of Sam Merlotte. Sam is such an interesting character – he is kind of like Sookie’s Jacob, in that he loves her unrequitedly, but purely. And for all the right reasons. He is her friend, her protector while Bill sleeps, her confidant – someone she trusts and adores. But, Sam, as we know, is also a rare, pure Shifter ~ he can be anything he chooses to be! (How awesome would THAT be?) Being Sam, the unassuming, gentle guy he is, his shift of choice is an equally gentle and unassuming Collie Sookie calls, Dean. It is hard to not root for Sam, even though we know Sookie just isn’t into him the way he would like. We love him, and want him to be happy. Do you agree?

PS~ For this challenge, I’ll allow that we can draw off of book Sam or True Blood Sam. They are very similar, and we want to hear from as many people as want to offer opinions!"

So… for this challenge, I offer two suggetions:

1) If you were a pure Shifter, as Sam is what would your shift of choice be and why. Create a project that captures your “inner shifter”. Tell us why!

OR… 2) Create a project that captures the essence and aura that IS Sam. Explain your thoughts and tell us your feelings about the character.

I created this card for the challenge! I used the Wolf stamp from Artful INKables...It could be a border collie from True Blood, right?? Well anyways I tried! I colored him brown and white and sponged around the edges. I used marrakech BG paper. Bazzill brown and green for the squares. All words and sentiment are From Beth's Otherwordly Loves!!! Available at Tonya's Stamp Happens shop!!!
