Hi Friends! It is Gemma here today. When I saw the fabulous Monster Hugs stamp set in the August release, I knew I wanted to add some googly eyes to the monsters.
For this card, I started with the background. I chose some fun glitter card in vibrant Halloween colours and die cut some zig-zag borders using a die from the Stacked Edges 1 die set.
I adhered these borders across the centre of an A2 card base. Underneath the borders, I stamped a fun sentiment from the Monster Hugs stamp set.
Next, I stamped some monsters and coloured them in with copic markers, using colours inspired by my zig-zag borders. I used the following copic markers: G12, G14, G17; RV55, RV66; YR02, YR14, YR16.
I die cut the monsters with the coordinating dies, then added some googly eyes. I then added the monsters to the card with foam tape.
I love the fun touch of googly eyes on these monsters. There’s just something about them which always bring a smile to my face.
