 For my project I used the new Monster Mania stamp set, Party Dies and the Fancy Frames dies.  I used the SVG cutout that was left over from the card I made for CDD's new release here.  I colored the images with Specrtum Noir Markers, popped dotted them, stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and inked the edges with chalk ink and placed in the banner's empty spot.  For the inside I used the Fancy Frames dies and another sentiment and monster from the Monster Mania set.  I really just LOVE these lil monsters!!!  I put Glossy Accents on their eyes and clear wink of Stella on some of their spots.

Here's what I've created for you...I used the Monster Mania stamp set and SVG and Party Dies. The stamp sets all have matching SVG's except Autumn Wishes, which has coordinating dies.  I welded the SVG monster images together and cut it out on the front of my card.  I then marked lightly with a pencil the outline so I would know where to stamp.  I stamped the middle monster first then masked him off and stamped the other two monsters which makes them look like they are behind the middle monster.  I colored the images with Copic Markers.  For the inside of the card I used the new Party Dies with colored cardstock and shaded the edges with chalk inks.  I then mounted the card onto a green piece of cardstock cut slightly larger than my card base.

Hay!

Hello Crafty Friends!  Stoppin by to share my card I made using the new Cutie KaToodles's Scarecrow Cow  and Happy Fall Y'all from Kadoodle Bug Designs.  I am so glad we are getting closer to Fall, which where I live we really don't have a Fall, I still love all the things that go along with it!

I used DCWV burlap paper and the plaid paper is a paper I have had for years.  The cow is made with my stash of scraps.  The flowers are from the Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.  I inked the edges with chalk inks.  Used Faber-Castell PITT XS black pen for the eyelashes and a white sharpie paint pen for the highlights.
