A birthday card for my grandson later in the year using Brutus Monroe Monster Selfie set.
I started with a piece of Neenah 80lb cut to size and sponged on distress inks in rainbow colours around the edges. I wasn't worried about going over the middle because that section was cut out.
I spattered with water and perfect pearls solution and set aside to dry.
The monsters were stamped onto bristol smooth paper in versafine onyx black and clear heat embossed. I coloured them using Zig real brush markers, again in rainbow colours and then fussy cut them.
Using a circle die, I selectively cut the panel so the bottom edge didn't cut. I trimmed the bottom edge of the circle with a craft knife.
I turned the panel over and adhered a piece of acetate over the opening. I then put a double layer of foam tape around the edge of the panel and around the semi circle. I then removed the release paper from the foam tape around the semi circle and put brightly coloured sequins and beads in the opening for colour and sound. I then put another sheet of acetate over this to seal the sequins and beads in.
I then removed the rest of the release paper and adhered this panel to my card base.
For Thomas's name ,I used Hero Arts Uppercase Alphabet Fancy dies. These dies are the perfect size to personalise cards.
I added a few white highlights to the monsters using a white gel pen and adhered a strip of black cardstock to the bottom of them. I put an action wobbler to the back of the monsters and then adhered them to the card.
COLOUR, SOUND AND MOVEMENT!
Thanks for stopping by,
