Another Monster card!!

Yep, another monster... although it's more of a dinosaur really :0)
I couldn't resist this stamp set called 'Dino-mite' from Janes Doodles because the dinosaurs 
have such cute faces and rounded bodies :0) I had this card idea in my head as 
soon as I saw them and finally with the help of the fab 
ColourQ palette, I have bought the design to life...




It also follows the sketch#134 at the Paper Players this week too... a few hours 
left before closing time there!!

This is actually my brothers birthday card. 
He is a leap year baby and, like every three out of four years, he has hijacked the
1st March as his birthday and I am safe to show you this now....although I know he doesn't 
look on my blog :0) I thought he'd appreciate the comic style cartoon scene... we both
grew up watching the sort of cartoons this could be a scene from!!

I cut a circle mask to ink the sky using Distress inks and then used the 
dienamics cityscape in three shades of blue card for depth. I love using the Distress inks on 
diecut shapes....they just bring them to life :0) 
I have a homemade version of ink blending tools to show you too. I followed 
a tutorial on you tube and I'm quite happy with the result......so much 
cheaper than buying the ranger tools. I just need to 
get some photos taken and upload them.
I'll include them in another blog post next week :0)

Right that's all from me, it's been quite a busy week here on the blog
thanks for stopping by :0)

  2. pinning this one Jenny - Rick would love it as he's a Godzilla fan and your card reminds me of all the old Japanese films he watches!
    The die layers in those colours work brilliantly.

  4. What a perfect use for this border die. I would have never though to go "monster" with it, but of course, it's the perfect scale to make a big impact! Super idea, Jenny!!
