Today is my friend Brian's birthday, and I am popping in with a quick post to show you the card I made for him.
I used my new Annabelle Stamps set Lil Monsters Balloon. I bought this stamp after coming across it in a youtube video, what a cute stamp this is, and such superb quality!!
So here is my Lil Monster, coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils. I didn't wait for my first layer to dry properly when colouring his skin, and there is a dark spot near his right eye that still really annoys me in this image, but it is still all a part of the learning experience. As i had just got my UTEE in the mail I wanted to play, so this little guy got two layers, looking back I should have gone that extra layer, but perhaps the 'rustic' look is better for this Lil Monster ;)
The sentiment is also a part of the stamp set, cute huh!
Happy birthday Brian, although I know you won't comment, I do know you will read this ;) Even though you had to work today, i hope you have had a good day and you have a super year to come!
Thanks for looking

ReplyDeleteSo very cute! Love how you've coloured him (he's fun to colour don't you think?! and one of my favs!) Love how you've cleverly cut the balloon from your shape! TFS!
