Monster Birthday

Morning everyone!

 

How is everyone? I hope you're all staying safe in this current snow/frost. My advice, for what it's worth, is stay home - do food shopping online for home delivery and spend as much time with your craft supplies as possible :)

 

Anyway, those little pearls of wisdom aside I have a card to share with you today. This is for my Dad's birthday at the end of the month, but he's following me in trend and will be on board a cruise ship for his birthday and so I had to get his card made so I could send it out with him. As usual, I struggled to come up with a card for him, I really have issues with male cards, but eventually I settled on this image from Tiddly Inks. I thought it was somewhat appropriate given that there are 3 of us (me and two brothers) and he always calls us his monsters..... 

I paper pieced all the monsters - no I won't be repeating this practice any time soon! It's worked out really well but I need some better scissors before I try it again. All the papers are oddments from various paper pads. It was a great way to use up scraps.

I finished the card with some ribbon and a little button. The sentiment inside simply says, wishing you a monster birthday! So that's it for this one. I would like to enter this into Dream Valley Challenges - Anything Goes

Until next time, happy crafting!
