Catch The Bug: Annual Birthday Bash - Sketch Sunday...

Hey,

I am back again today playing along with the Catch The Bug Annual Birthday Bash.

Today we have a sketch for you.

I decided to use the Birthday Monster Balloon stamp on my card.

I coloured the stamp first and used the colours to inform my colour palette.

I used scraps of spotty orange papers and a green scrap to fit the sketch. The sentiment is from a great set by Create a Smile.

To finish my card, I added 3 green pearls.

I love this cute little Balloon Monster card.

Pop over to Catch The Bug to see what the rest of the DT have made.

FMS: OMG! How Old?...

Hey,

Happy Monday.

I had an early start this morning..6am PT session - UGH.

Over the weekend, I didn't really get to spend that much time at my desk, but I did find the time to make a card for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge -

Love this sketch, super versatile.

I found a Monster already stamped on my desk, so decided he should be coloured and go on the card.

I started with a black card base and used a coverplate die (Lil Inker) on a piece of white cardstock. I stuck this piece to the card base and then added my red piece of paper.

I wanted the sentiment to kind of look like it was coming out of my Monsters mouth. But I kind of mis-judged it a bit, so it looks like he is swallowing the stickers LOL.

I heat-embossed the fun sentiment onto a piece of black card... I love this sentiment, it is by Create A Smile stamps and was a set I bought with a prize I won.

I'm pretty pleased with the ONE card I managed to make this weekend.

CAS on a Friday..On a Monday...

Hey,

Hope you had a good weekend, I had a fun time.

It's an exciting week for me, Hubby returns home and then two days later my Momma arrives. SWEET!!

I saw the latest challenge 'Make a card with embossing' over at CAS on Friday and I wanted to play along.

It was the perfect excuse to use new Monsters from Create a Smile (Monster Party), that I coloured yesterday morning for The Daily Marker 30 day Colouring.

I used a fave Sizzix big spots embossing folder, I have had it years!! I chose a bright yellow piece of paper, I thought my monster would pop against it.

I then die-cut the embossed piece using dies from The Works in the UK, I bought them last year, but I have only used them once!

I added a sentiment from the Monster set and boom! finished card and of course a googly eye!

It was so easy and fun I made another one ;)
