and Lil'Monster's Balloon:

Lil Monster's Balloon - Click Image to Close
Here is my card:

I kept it very simple, stamping my Lil' Monster on some white cardstock which I adhered onto my white base. I coloured him in with Copics and paper pieced his balloon and shirt. For the strip down the side, I edged some Riding Hood Red cardstock with my Upper Crest border punch and then added two small strips stamped with the star backround from Backgrounds By Design 4 in Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron inks.



On the inside I stamped my sentiment in both Riding Hood Red ink and Bashful Blue. I stamped the balloon twice and paper pieced these also with the same DP.

These are such versatile and fun sets to work with. Make sure you hop on over to the AnnaBelle Stamps blog to finish. Thanks for visiting!

ETA: Sorry this card was late getting onto my blog - I had scheduled it but Blogger didn't want to cooperate and it wasn't until I got home late tonight that I realised!


Bye!
