Hello, weekend! It’s been a crazy weekend for me filled with cooking, baking and delivering gifts to my daughter and my NEW granddaughter! So I’m a little late in getting this post up for the Paper Smooches Challenge!
This week, the challenge was inspired by this picture:
I thought the black lace would lend itself nicely to a Halloween card, and I started out using the cute Monster from Paper Smooches “Falling for You” stamp set. But then, it turned a little cutesy instead. (these monsters have a mind of their own sometimes!)
That black lace has so much movement and I used a basting stitch to give it a bit of a ruffle:
I sewed that ruffled lace right onto the newsprint paper, then added some polka dot paper and a bit of washi tape to cover the white thread.
That little monster is somewhat of a flirt! I turned the “girl” monster to face him…by stamping and tracing it on the back of the paper. I have to say…it didn’t turn out as cute as the stamp itself. 🙂
I added a little grey shadow beneath the monsters and some glossy accents to the eyes for a little shine. That will dry clear, but for now it’s a little thick on that left eye!
Aren’t these guys so cute? Happy Halloween!
Also linking up to the current Simon Says Stamp Challenge: use a rubber stamp.
