Sending You Huge Monster Thanks

Sending You Huge Monster Thanks
Made these cards for my Copic markers buyers who uses Copic markers in their arts.


Always Playing With Paper - The Challenge #13
I adopt the simple sketch from Always Playing With Paper - The Challenge #13 as shown above but minus the color combo challenge as I am not good with colors challenge. Furthermore, my cards are for ladies and I do not think the color combo challenge are for ladies.


Close-up :
Left : Monster in purple shade with white dashes
Right : Monster in orange shade with white dashes
As the sketch is simple, I start off with stamping the monster on a white card stock twice. Then, the monster is color using Copic markers. The monster looks a bit plain after I colored it and I thought to give it some design. Thus, I pick up my longtime-no-use white gel pen and started to put some dots onto the monster body but ending up look like dashes instead as my white gel ink flow is not smooth. I quite like the result as it looks natural and suit the monsters.

Close-up : Modified sentiment
The sentiment is a tricky part as I need to modify it from the original sentiment by changing 'hugs' to 'thanks' and also centered the 'monster' so that it look more natural. Luckily I got it right in one shot! Phew~

The white card stock is attached onto a red card base.

Dimension : 10.16cm x 15.24cm or 4" x 6"
Type : Top fold
Inlay : None
