Mornin' hens! Today is my DH's birthday!! He likes CAS cards, so this one is right up his alley! I got this idea from one of Kristina Werner's cards last month. I could watch her videos over and over again. LOL! Ok, so to start, I cut a circle from a piece of cardstock the same size as the card front and used it as a mask. Then, using distress inks, I sponged several colors inside the circle area for muted background. Before removing the mask, I used my Prismacolor pen and drew a fine black line around the circle for a more defined look. Then I stamped my monster and colored him with Copics.
I stamped the sentiment underneath and added a few DIY enamel dots. I could have called it a day at that point, but I wanted to add some birthday fun to the image, so I used a balloon from one of my Paper Smooches stamp set and stamped it on a scrap piece of cardstock and colored it with my Copics too! I cut it out and adhered it to my card with some foam tape.
Using the same Prismacolor pen I used to outline the circle, I freehand drew the balloon string to his hand. I also added a shadow using colored pencils and Gamsol to ground the image. To finish, I rounded the corners, added some Wink of Stella glitter and Glossy Accents to the balloon and then some white and black enamel to his eyes. What a cutie, right? Me luv it!! Okee dokee, that's it for me today! {{{hen hugs}}}
