AnnaBelle Stamps March Release Day 1

Introducing...Lil Monster Gone Fishing.


Yes it's true your favorite little Monster is back!
This time he's "Gone Fishing" for some fun!


I chose to use this weeks There She Goes sketch for my card. You can see that I "flipped" it to fit my card.


For my first card I've always wanted to color the monster "purple" because of that old song, Purple People Eater. I went a different route with card by using Stampin Pastel chalks to color the image. Let me just say, purple is a very hard color to photograph decently.
Card Details: Card Stock: Lovely Lilac, Coredinations Green textured, Marina Mist, Whisper White.
Designer Paper: Doodlebug Designs.
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Punches: SU and Optic Dot (Martha Stewart)
Fishing Hook & Linen Thread

Here is my next card. I love this one alot. I chose to use my friend Allison (Stampin When I Can) sketch for the Playing in Paradise challenge for this card.


This one was colored with various Copic markers. I'm still learning how to use them (sort of trial and error) but I think this turned out pretty decent. I did use a light blue Prisma Color pencils on the water.
Card Stock: Wild Wasabi, Texture Orange(source unknown), Whisper White, Bashful Blue and Designer paper from Debbie Mumm (Baby Boy collection). Ribbon-SU Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain
Punch: EK Success
Nestabilitie Dies
Toffee Sprinkles: AnnaBelle Stamps.
