Stamping Bella Monstah Bash & Birthday Boy


























Don't you have a hard time making cards for little boys? If you're like me, I don't make cards for boys too often and when I do, I can never find the right stamps but fret no more! I found these stamps by Stamping Bella and I found the perfect papers to use with these stamps, made by Bo Bunny Press. You can't exactly use flowers to embellish so I thought buttons would go good with these cards. On the Birthday Boy card, I used watercolor pencils to color the image. The monsters on the other card were colored with Copic Markers. I used a Spellbinders die cut to mount the monsters on and scallop punches to mat the sentiments, which are from Stampendous. Here are the details:

Doesn't Marci look so "Spring-y" in her cute little outfit? Especially, with the plaid background in colorful spring colors. I had to add a glittered rose and an orange ticket that I found while scrounging thru my embellishments. I colored Marci with Copic markers and then layered her on a red Spellbinders scallop circle. The card measures 4 in x 4 in square. It's a cute size, perfect as a gift card. Here are the details:
