Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 35 ~ Hexes & Hugs ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up the cute yet grumpy monster from the Hexes & Hugs stamps from Unity for a fun Halloween card.

I had this cute monster stamped and fussy cut already on my desk from a project that didn't happen. Sooo... I thought I'd use it for a Halloween card. I started with my background. I pulled out the Haunted Hues {paper pack} and cut some layers for my card. I adhered them all together and decided to flip the sketch to see how it would look. 

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 35. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I used the measurements on the sketch for my card today and as I mentioned above, I flipped the sketch.

I colored up the witch monster and the crescent moon with Copic markers and used a Memento Tuxedo Black marker to color the edges of my fussy cutting. Doing this neatens up the fussy cutting. I die cut a circle from black card stock using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I popped up the circle on the card with foam tape.

Here's a list of the Copic Markers I used:

Witch Monster: B000, B91, B93

Eyes: Y11

Hair: N2, N4, N6

Hat: YR20, YR15, YR68, N2, N4, N6, Y15

Dress: YR20, YR15, YR68

Broom: E11, E25

Pumpkin: YG11, YG03

Moon: Y11, Y15

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. Another Halloween card for my stash! I'm having so much fun with this sketch! I hope you can find time to play along. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Halloween Wishes ~ Hexes & Hugs ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Today I'm sharing a fun Halloween card I made using the awesome new monster stamps from Unity called Hexes & Hugs. There's three fab monsters in this kit. I chose to ink up the grumpy witch.

I started by picking some papers... I decided to go with the Eternal Midnight Weave {paper pack} that I hadn't yet cracked open. I chose a couple for my background and then a couple more pattern papers for the circles. Once I had those figured out, I colored up the monster witch using Copic markers.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Monster: YG11, YG03

Hair / Eyes: V12

Costume: N2, N4, YR20, YR15, Y11, Y28

Broom: E11, E33

Pumpkin: YR20, YR15

Moon: Y11, Y15

Ground: N2

I used the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} to die cut all those circles. The focal image is popped up with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Embrace Your Unique Brilliance ~ She Monsters ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I am SO excited that Unity made some girl monsters too! I just had to ink up the one with glasses! If I was a monster I would totally be this gal with the rainbow bow and shirt! LOL!

I stamped the adorable monster from the She Monsters with Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with just a bunch of Copic markers. I die cut the monster using a circle die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies}. I wanted to add a bit of shine to the glasses so I added glossy accents.

You can check out my process video for this card here... Embrace Your Unique Brilliance | She Monsters | Unity Stamp Co.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Monster: V000, V12, V15, RV52, RV14

Hair: YG11, G14

Mouth: B00, C00, C2

Eyes: C00, C2, C3

Shirt / Bow: C00, C3, R20, R14, YR21, YR15, Y11, Y15, YG11, G14, B000, B00, V000, V12, Colorless Blender

Ground: Y11, B000

I paired up the adorable monster with my fave rainbow papers... Rainbow Vibes {paper pack}. Love these papers!! 

The inside of the mini card... a fun fold card, of sorts. I cut the sentiment into two parts and adhered the second part inside the card.

I finished off the monster with some white polka dots on her shirt using a Sakura White Gelly Roll pen. This was such a fun card to make!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal

You're So Cool ~ Monster Mayhem ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Have you seen the adorable monsters that just released at Unity? Monster Mayhem has three of the cutest monsters and a bunch of fun sentiments. I just had to ink up one of these cuties!

I stamped the cute monster with Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with just a few Copic markers. I fussy cut the monster leaving a white border around the image. I wanted to add a bit of shine to the glasses so I added glossy accents.

Here's a quick list of the ones I used:

Monster: V0000, V000, V12, V15

Spikes: RV00, RV11, RV14

Glasses: Y06, Y15

Teeth: C00, C2

I thought I'd pair up this cutie with a fun ink smooshed panel in my stash. I used Scattered Straw, Evergreen Bough, and Iced Spruce Distress Inks for the background. I die cut the panel using a rectangle die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. 

I had a fun ide for the sentiment. I die cut the sentiment using a die from the Scallops & Banners {nesting dies}. And then I die cut two scraps of black card stock using the same die. I then layers those die cuts and boom... a fun sentiment strip. I added foam tape to the back of the monster and popped him up on the card just above the sentiment strip grounding the monster on the card. I finished off the card with a few enamel dots from my stash. Can you see them? They are clear. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal
