Motley Monsters Cards

I made these two cards to teach at my Halloween and Thanksgiving card class.  I tried to make them simple yet fun.

Card #1

The first card was all about featuring the Motley Monsters DSP. But I didn't want the busy pattern to completely overwhelm the card.  Enter the small polka dot page and larger sentiment oval. As an alternative, I made another card with black CS and white craft ink for the sentiment.  I may just like the black better...

  • Stamps: Wacky Wishes
  • Inks: Bermuda Bay
  • Cardstock: Bermuda Bay; Crushed Curry; Tangerine Tango; Motley Monsters DSP
  • Accessories: Brights Candy Dots
  • Tools: Sponge daubers; Ovals framelits; Hexagon punch (banner ends)

Card #2

The card card was all about my new tag punch.  I saw a variation of this card on Pinterest, but wanted to add some more visual interest.  The inclusion of the pumpkin did just that!

  • Stamps: Halloween Street;
  • Inks: Tangerine Tango; Stazon Black
