The Monsters are Coming!

While my stamping mojo might be a little depleted I was able to snap out a few monster cards using the new Monstermaniacs stamp set #134972.  

Typically I'm not a big stamper in the early morning hours.  However, I've had terrible allergies issues this week and find myself flat asleep on my couch every night by 10pm.  It's AWFUL!!  I love to stamp at night.  What is happening to me?

The kids have a busy weekend of birthday's and both asked for handstamped cards.  Like I could argue? 

I bought this set a few weeks ago and I knew it would come in handy for the kids.  Lookie here… it sure did.  

I haven't watercolored in FOREVAH! I sure have missed it. 

Tip: To make watercoloring a little easier for a small image such as this I used Basic Black craft ink and clear embossing powder.  Once embossed, I colored the image using my Blender Pen and Wild Wasbi ink. I love how it turned out.  

To make the image pop a little more I did a little paper piecing with a stamp set from the Everyday Occasions Kit.  *L*o*V*e this kit.  This is where the Happy Birthday image came from.  Super cute image and those little banners across it are adorable. 

I couldn't leave Alexis out for her birthday friend so I chose the same set just a different image.  I used a few sets to make this card come together.  You can see the supply list below.  

I loved making a little banner for this monster.  Looks like she is holding it up.  

I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to a weekend I can put ink to paper.  The kids have all kinds of plans without Russ and I.  I think it would be great to enjoy a little crafty time.
