Monster Birthday Wishes Card

Hi everyone :-D 

Today I want to share with you this Monster Birthday Wishes Card.

I used a monster in the middle from Gerda Steiner Designs 'Three Monsters' digital stamps. These Monsters are super cute!!!  :-D 

I printed the monster on a white cardstock paper. First I drew dots on the monster and colored them with Lavender Violet colored pencil, as well as monster´s eyelids. Then I added a transparent varnish with extra gloss on every dot, teeth, eyes and eyelids. After varnish was dry, I colored the monster in watercoloring technique using Tim Holtz´s Distressed Ink Mustard Seed, water and brush, fussy cut him and colored edges with black permanent pen.

I printed Time for Tea Designs 'Birthday Wishes' sentiment (freebie) on a white panel. Then I drew circles on colored paper scraps using a compass tool, cut them out and glued them on the panel.

At the end, I glued panel on a white card base, added dimensional foam behind the Monster and placed him on the card.  

Card dimensions are 101 mm x 145 mm (4" x 5 3/4").
