G'day folks!
My fingers have been distinctly lacking in ink these last couple of weeks. October is such a busy month in our family - birthdays galore, including my youngest son who turned 7 yesterday. I borrowed a friend's 7 seater car, filled it with a bunch of his closest friends and took them to a play centre. Let's just say that every form of bodily function was discussed between said boys and the trip ended with a very serious burping competition - which my son very proudly won. Not sure what that says about my mothering skills or his manners!
Speaking of little monsters, having a bunch of very sweet ones in my car reminded me of this little fella from the Paper Smooches set of the same name. I coloured him with Copics (annoyingly you can't see any of my shading in the pic - but it is there, I promise) added a swirl of twine and stamped and embossed a chevron background from Mama Elephant. I took my cues from the latest Time Out challenge pic and the latest Freshly Made Sketch. It also happens to fit in with the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge to use monsters in your project:
Enjoy your weekend!

Love that subtle background Claire and so perfect for the pops of colour you have used for the monster! Thanks for joining us at TO
ReplyDeleteCool background, Claire ... yep, so similar to my pocket card one ... great minds??? Your little monster is such a cutie ... so fun against his double star ... I see the shading here on my screen ... and it's fabulous! What a great story of your car full of seven year olds ... hmmm ... I suppose boys will be boys!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love that little monster and I can see the shading. Your background is very cool. And I just have to say kudos to you for having a burp-competition-winning-7-year-old in the family :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Halloween card, the monster is fabulous. Thank you so much for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Hugs, Sandra
ReplyDeleteVery fun! I love the loops of twine behind the cute monster and the subtle textured background. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
ReplyDeleteHow fun this is! I love that little monster! Glad you joined us this week at FMS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect birthday card for a little monster Claire! Not sure if the kids in the car qualify for the honor of being a little monster but it sure sounds like it was a fun day for them (and you)!
