Birthday Card for Goran

Hi everyone :-D  

Today I made a Birthday Card for Goran, my brother, who will turn 33 next week. 



When I saw this 'Monster' digital stamp (freebie) from Create a Smile, I knew it will be great for my brother´s birthday card. He likes funny creatures, just like his older sister, me! :-D I also used Create a Smile 'Monster Sentiment' digital stamp (freebie). 

Image is paper pieced
First I printed image and sentiment on white cardstock paper (white panel) and 3 'Monster' images on white paper (160 grams) in same size. 
I colored his body in watercoloring technique, using light blue aquarell colored pencil, paint brush and water. I love Koh-i-noor Mondeluz aquarell colored pencils, because they can be used for coloring, sketching, drawing and watercoloring. Awesome! :-D 
I colored other parts with my new woodless colored pencils. 
Then I fussy cut all parts, colored edges with black permanent pens (used different sizes) and glued all pieces together. I also added googly eyes onto the Monster, to make him even more funny. :-D 
Here is a photo of all pieces. 

At the end I added dimensional foam behind the Monster and placed him on the white panel.

For my card layout I decided to use wonderful sketch from Your Next Stamp, designed by Julie Elak.

I used 3 different colored cardstock papers I had in my stash for a long time. I glued all colored layers and white panel (with the image and sentiment) onto a card base, also from colored cardstock paper. At the end I draw stitches with Staedtler Lumocolor superfine permanent black pen. 

Card dimensions are 96 mm x 149 mm (3 13/16" x 5 7/8").
