My Monsters... Again!

Yes, I have a new card with my beloved Silly Monsters from Your Next Stamp!

 

This fortnight Your next Stamp Challenge has this sketch:

 

 

which I translated into this:

 

My monsters are colored with Copics as usual. Then, I cut their hands and switched their positions so they seem they're having a great fun in the sea!

While struggling with snow it was healthy to think about sunny days at the seaside!

 

There's also a color challenge, just in case you prefer...

I chose a very yummy cupcake and sentiment from Pink Petticoat colored with just a touch of red and green.

I then mounted it on one of my precious Lasting Impressions cards and added lost of glitter.

A Bit Late...

As you probably know I love to take part in Your Next Stamp Challenges, I haven't missed one since Challenge # 1!

 

This fortnight I'm a bit late with my card and with my post but here I am to show you my make!

 

I followed this sketch:

 

 

and made this card:

 

For the first time I'm not entering with one of Your Next Stamp stamps.

I planned to use one of my sweet monsters again but I thought that this digi stamp from Gerda Steiner was perfect for the sketch.

This Bunny is Bunny on the Scooter, colored with Copics and mounted on a background paper from Peebles I've recently treated myself with.

I've tried to follow the color challenge too but then I added a touch of green...

 

This card is for the following challenges:
