let the
monsta phase
commence!!! :)
(patterned paper: american crafts, basic grey, dcwv + red sparkly giftwrap; vintage slidemount, eyelet & rickrack courtesy of the lovely debb; monsta cut from paperchase giftwrap; puffy felt flower: paper source; chipboard button: love elsie; fibers: basic grey; stickpins: joann essentials; epoxies: around the block; other: colorbox inks, dymo labels, fiskars border punch, foam tape)
this was a super-fun, super-fast card to make! partly because i followed kazan's delightful sketch #13 from 2 sketches 4 you; partly because i had cool new stuff (monsters + vintage goodies) i was dying to use; and partly because i took a tip from the lovely june houck and grabbed my xmas paper scrap file for the card base (a pre-folded offcut from a bigger card) and the layers of decorative papers.
grand total of xmas cards made to date: ...ummmmmm...2...which, ok, on the downside, is only about 4% of what i need...but on the upside, represents a 50% increase over last week!
hope the weekend finds you well and brings you LOTS of time to make stuff!!!
