I had a hard time deciding what kind of critter I wanted to use . . . so went looking through my stash and found these fun monsters from The Stamps of Life released in May 2017.
- Searching through my stash of past mixed media experiments I found a sample of Amplify by Imagine the mixed Radiant Neon Electric Pink and Black. It was rolled out onto cardstock then heated with a heat tool to have a slightly raised textured surface. I die cut the three monsters plus a backing of black cardstock with the dies from Monster4Celebrations. One monster has his features penned in with a Zig marker.
- Additional die cut pieces add the tongues inked with Radiant Neon Electric Pink ink, and white for the teeth. I had three different sizes of googly eyes in my stash that worked perfectly!
- The sentiment is Hero Arts CL498 Celebrate Every Day stamped on black cardstock and heat embossed with Think Ink Magenta Bright Light embossing powder.
- The background is pressure embossed with Sizzix Hearts and Dots and then inked with Radiant Neon Electric Pink ink.
- The card base edges are inked with Delicata Black Shimmer.
- All the layers are adhered together and parts of the monsters are trimmed off so they feel like they are just jumping into the scene.
I am delighted to enter the following challenges:

"Happy Valentine's Day" is the perfect sentiment. It lets the recipient know that you're thinking of him but doesn't get too mushy!!
ReplyDeleteYour monsters are so adorable, peeking out from all sides. I bet the 14-year-old got a kick out of it!
Thanks for sharing your Love is in the Air project with us at Cut it Up.
