Monster Mayhem - NBUS#73

Hello,  Thanks for stopping by.

Today I will be sharing a card that I created for no particular challenge whatsoever.  

 Here is the card:

This card features one of the adorable monsters from Unity Stamps,

Monster Mayhem stamp set. It also features matching paper with the same name.

Details: Card Base, Basic Black (SU)

Basic White cs(SU)

Patterned Paper, Unity Stamps (Monster Mayhem)

Color Medium - Copic Markers

Embossing Folder, Spots n Dots (Cuttlebug)* - retired

Heart Punch *retired SU

Circle Dies from both Unity and MFT

Staples, Googly Eyes, Foam Mounting Tape

I stamped the Monster with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers.  I am trying to learn how to use these markers so I've been watching a few video's - How do you think I did?

I just love this Monster set and what's even better is they came out with a girl monster set (I'm still waiting for mine to arrive) called,

She Monsters and patterned paper,  Love Notes  both available separately or in a Bundle package.  - I can't wait to use them.

Since this is my first time using this set I'm going to put it up on NBUS#73 

Have a great day.

Color Throwdown #830 and IB#331

 Welcome.  I hope you've been having a good week.  Mine has had it's, "ups and downs" but nothing to major.

Today I'll be sharing a couple of cards that I created for two different challenges.

First up a card for the ct830

Here is my card for that challenge:

This challenge was a bit hard for me.  I didn't have any patterned papers that had those 3 colors all together.  SO instead I just went with the colors through the paper and accessories.

I broke out a very old stamp set: (A.muse Studio - Bunny Business) and dusted it off for both of these cards.

Paper - Highland Heather, Mint Melody*retired & Basic White cs - SU

Embossing Folder - Paper Studio

Tag - Unity (Grunge Cuts - Tag Dies)

Flower Ribbon - A.Muse Studio

Other: Colored Pencils, Glitter, Heart Punch, Foam Tape

This is a very CAS card - Something I find hard to do but it worked out.

Next up : Inspired by...Bunnies (now mind you both of these cards would work for this challenge.

Here is my card:

For my card I was of course inspired by, bunnies.  I chose to do brighter colors for this card so perhaps the first card fits the pastel colors of the inspiration photo better but I'm sticking with this one for the challenge.

Papers: Only Orange and Basic White cs - SU

Patterned Gingham check - A.Muse Studio

Colored Pencils, Gamsol, Flower border Embossing Folder, Liquid Pearls-Cantaloupe from Ranger and Scallop/Rectangle Die (Unity)

Inspired by-IB#330 Rain

 Hello and Welcome.

Today's card is one that I'm sharing with the Inspired by blog,

IB#330

This was the Inspiration photo:

Here is my card:

For this card I chose this adorable little mouse from Unity Stamps,  Spring Mouse

Since this is just an inspiration point I decided to add another color, (green) to my card.  After all this is a Spring mouse!

My card stock colors: Basic White, Granny Apple Green & Azure Afternoon - SU.

The image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with pencils blended with Gamsol.

I masked off the mouse image and created clouds by using a homemade stencil since I couldn't find my cloud stencil (my craft room needs serious organization!)

As you can see it's not perfect, I'm still learning stencil techniques.

I colored the border and drew in grass with my pencils.  Then I stamped rain using an old SU stamp from Itty Bitty Backgrounds.

The dies are Unity (Rectangle Scallops and Circles). Main image was mounted with foam tape.
