Party Like a Monster!

Hello Crafty Friends!  

I am over at Craftin Desert Diva's blog today sharing a cute lil monster card I made using the stamp set Monster Mania and Mix It Up dies.  I masked the monsters using post it notes so that they could be in a group photo. The images were colored with Copic markers and added glossy accents to the eyes.  I made the Polaroid frame using the two rectangle frames from the Mix it Dies.  I kept it clean and simple by keeping the background all in white cardstock.  I added some matching sequins from Trick or Treat sequins.  The 'ribbon' is just vellum cardstock cut to look like ribbon.  I used fun foam to pop up the photo.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today!

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Hello Crafty Friends!  

I am over on the Craftin Desert Diva's blog today sharing with you a slider card I made using the Adventure Land , Tiny Sentiments,  Mix It Up Dies and Flag Banner Dies.

I got my inspiration from Jennifer McGuire's video she made this past week.  This scene came to me as I was thinking of what would make a good slider card.

I stamped the alien in the space ship with Memento black ink, colored with Copic markers and added glossy accents over the lights and window.  I hand cut the 'light' coming from the ship and used distress ink to color it yellow.  I embossed the sentiment in black embossing powder.  I used watercolor paper to make the galaxy and planet using distress inks, white paint and Perfect Pearls for the splatters.  I used the a banner from the Flag Banner Dies to make my flag.  The sentiment on the flag is stamped in blue metallic ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The arrow on the pull tab is from the Mix It Up Dies.

Today starts week 2 of Craftin Desert Diva's Create a Scene Linky Party.  I created a beach scene  using Beach Bound stamp set, Mix It Up Dies and Fancy Frame Dies.

For my card I came across a tutorial on Pinterest showing how to create a beach scene using Copics. So, I course had to try my hand at it.  I still need lots of practice but I had fun trying.  Here is the link to the tutorial, very talented artist!

So without further ado here is my card.....

All of the images are stamped directly on the white stitched panel I cut from Fancy Frame Dies.  I then proceeded coloring my background then colored the images.  I cut the speech bubble and used yellow distress ink to color it then stamped my sentiment and popped it up with fun foam.  I cut the orange pattern paper using the large scallop frame and layered this on top of black cardstock then adhered to an A2 size card.

I hope that this has inspired you to come and play along with us!
