Sneak Peek: Monster Hugs

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a look at the new Monster Hugs stamp set from the August release!

Monsters are such fun to colour as there are no rules, no colours you can’t use. Go vivid or muted, use complimentary or contrasting tones… just enjoy the colouring as you really can’t go wrong.

I stamped out lots of the monsters and used my copic markers to colour them in. I chose colours opposite on the colour wheel that complemented each other. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

For the background, I took a square panel of card and die cut one of the previously released Scene dies from the centre. It’s not only the perfect size window opening for my sentiment, I can also use the outer circle frame on my card.

On a piece of black card, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Monster Hugs stamp set with white embossing powder. I secured this behind the white square card panel, to show through the circle window opening, then added the circle frame around it.

I cut a larger black square panel and adhered this to my white card base, to leave a small white border. I then adhered the white panel on top.

I arranged the monsters around the circle opening and adhered them using foam tape for dimension to finish.

We hope you enjoyed today’s blog post. We’ll see you tomorrow for another sneak peek!
