Had a few hectic days with a 2 day trip to Cardiff then a day in Dorset before travelling back today. A busy time but enjoyable although now am tired!
I made this card just before I went away and didn't have time to post it -
I don't often use digi stamps but this months challenge at CAS Watercolour has the theme of 'For a Child'.
Now, child suitable stamps are not something I possess!
So improvised with this monster which I had saved in my digi folder (likely a freebie and sorry but have no idea where it came from as it's years since I even opened the digi folder never mind the stamps in there!)
I coloured with my waterbrush pens (still practicing!), then fussy cut him out, dotting some white on the parcel.
I randomly stamped the background spots in the same colours adding the sentiment with Versamark.
He looked kinda lost on a plain white background so opted to use an embossing folder!

A real cute fun card Viv. I think a few adults would like this style of card as well as the children.

What a bright and fun monster, Viv! I love how you've colored him and repeated the colors on the dots! The bit of diagonal embossed panels are a brilliant idea! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
