Monster birthday wishes

I saw this sweet card last week on the Your Next Stamp Birthday Blog Hop - made by Jeanie Witmer - and I loved it so much I decided to case it!

I stamped one of the friendly little monsters from October Afternoon "Night Light" using Memento Tuxedo black ink and coloured him with copics.  The paper is BoBunny "Surprise" along with some Tempting Turquoise.  I added two balloons made with the Party Balloon die-namic and tied them to his hand with some bakers twine.  I like that the balloons are super big compared to the little monster - almost like he'll float away with them LOL.  I added a few sequins in matching colours and some fun "googly eyes".  

Thanks Jeanie for the inspiration!

Happy Birthday Riley

I played along with this week's SSS225 and made a card for Riley who is turning 5! 

 

 

I stamped parts of the dinosaur three times onto Bella's Bestest paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink and coloured them with copics.  I only used two copics, YR12 and YR14.  I thought it would be fun to put some googly eyes on the dinosaur.

 

 

How crazy are those eyes?!

 

Wishing Riley a very happy 5th birthday!

Cheerio.....Leslie

Monster Bash - SSSC188

This is one of those cards that totally didn't turn out how I thought it would...but I like it!  I had another go using Karen's SSSC188 sketch and this time, stayed pretty true to the sketch.

The image is a cute monster set from October Afternoon.  There are four monsters in it but only this one fit the sketch....'cause you know monsters are BIG :)

The sentiment was one long image but I masked it and inked it to fit in the circle.

Lots of bright colours and some red sparkle make this a fun card.

Cheerio.....Leslie
