Remember that song- loved it and really enjoy it when I hear it on the radio nowadays. Well my son has a friend whose birthday is October 31st and he asked me to make him a card-gee, let's ask me to do a male card, someone I don't know and it's not like they are 6 anymore and anything goes. But what surprised me the most was how easy and quick this card was! Funny how that works isn't it.
So how did I figure out what to do, first I decided to use Crumb Cake as my base and pulled out the Just add Cake DSP pack and my fall to guy birthday card stamp set-Make a Monster. I ended up using four different stamp sets but since I have organized my room, it is so easy to find them. I said this was a quick card so rather than paper piecing my "Monster" I stamped on watercolour paper and just used my Aquapainter to colour him in. The sentiment is from Bring on the Cake and chose this sentiment as I wanted something that would work well on the watercolour paper. I find if I stamp a solid stamp on watercolour paper, the results aren't to my liking. So want to see the card?
Ok I will admit, after I did the focal image I decided with his hand up in the arm, he needed balloons so back into the stamp cupboard for Party Hearty, and quickly cut those out and using dimensionals add them to the card using our White Baker's twice to make the strings and a rolled up glue dot to attach them to him hand. He needed a hat and the best set for that is Beary Best Friends and it too is attached with a dimensional.
Did you find the DSP, I used it as a mat for the image panel. Inside I kept it simple
Another stamp from Party Hearty and the sentiment is from Full of Life.
Happy Stamping,
