Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge # 237. Our host, Debbie, chose Showcase Your Patterned Paper. I needed two last-minute Halloween cards at the request of a friend. I chose to use Unbounded Beauty DSP (designer series paper) for these two adorable monsters!
When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Since it’s not feasible to write a greeting on the inside, I added white cardstock to the back of each card. Here’s a photo of the back:
I’ve already posted a set of three of these little monsters, and you can see them here.
Once again, I used a video tutorial from Rachel Tessman of stamp your art out for this card. You can find her video here. First, I watched the video all the way through, then I did my cutting and cropping. When that was done, I could follow her directions as I worked my way through the first card. After that, it was (almost) a snap to create the other two cards. Her video tutorial is easy to follow along, and pause as needed to catch up or re-watch sections.
I also made myself a template with the basic directions for the base of the card. Here are two different views of the template for the base of my monster cards:
Hints:
- I didn’t have any Petunia Pop or Calypso Coral glimmer paper, so I created my own by using the clear Wink of Stella brush on the circles
- Thankfully, I had 4 of these large googly-eyes, which were the same size as the circles I used for the inner parts of the eyes on my last post
- The only stamping I needed to do was for the back of the card where I can add white cardstock trimmed to 5-1/4 by 4 inches for a (not so) spooky sentiment and handwritten greeting
- I used a white Sharpie paint pen for the eyeballs
- I need to get the Round We Go bundle (163730) because it is so much more versatile than I originally thought
- In a pinch, a Cheerful Daisy die works for some oddly shaped eyelashes
- Most of all, have fun!
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
