Monster Birthday Wishes

I am a firm believer that if you create something and it makes you smile, then you've done a good job. This card makes me smile, and I am so very happy that I created it!

I had a bit of help with this card. I knew I wanted to try out the stippling to add shading technique that Dawn showed in her video for Day 2 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I stamped some Paper Smooches Monsters from the Falling For You Stamp Set in a cascading format (with a bunch of masking) to match the sketch at The Challenge #59 and colored them in with solid purple, yellow and green Copics based on the fun color from the ColourQ #326 Challenge. I then went in with a darker shade of Copics and stippled some shading. I had to add a medium color too, because the darkest shade of markers I chose for each was just a tad too dark. I fussy cut the monster parade and adhered it with foam tape onto a white cardstock panel that had been stamped with a sentiment. This I mounted onto a yellow card base.
