A little monster.....

Morning! Finally got some piccies of my card so i can share it with you all :-)
This is for another of George's school friends - I think I'm going to be making quite a few 5th birthday cards this year! The image is Monster Boy from squiggle stamps and is coloured with my promarkers. The spotty paper was one of my scraps so I'm not sure of the make but I think it might be Daisy and Dandelion Picnic Patch??? The gingham paper is from crafts too.


It seems to be standard these days that I put quickutz cookie cutter stars on boys cards - I never seem to be able to do buttons quite right! The "Boy" embellishment on the tag and the cute tiny buttons at the bottom were won from Debs - thankyou! The birthday stamp on the tag is one of papermania's but the sentiment on the base was computer generated.


I've inked all the edges in various shades of green and blue and then added some ribbon from my stash.

I'll be back tomorrow with my Dream Valley DT card :-) You still have a bit of time to enter our Anything Goes challenge if you're quick!

My Grannie always said 'Blue and Green should never be seen' - I have no idea why, I think they look very good together! I really like this monster card, just right for a boy!
