Monster Hugs Valentine cards for Simon Says Stamp:Red & Pink challenge.

Hello!

Hope everyone is having a lovely week so far and being crafty!:)

I have 2 Valentines cards to share with you today. My first one I will be playing along in the Simon Says Stamp Red & Pink challenge. The second I used the same stamp set, Monster hugs by Simon Says Stamp, such a fun set! The second doesn't really fit the the pink and red challenge but thought i'd share it anyways:)

For the first card:

I kept the layout pretty simple, using some random cardstock I had, and used a circle die cut to cut a circle out on the side. I adhered this piece on cotton candy card stock as the card base. I stamped my sentiment using the same cardstock and cut into a banner, I used the same circle die cut to create the curvy shape in order to line this piece up with my cricle. I colored that cute little guy with Copic markers, cut out and added to my card. Added some sequins and gems as the finishing touch.

Oh and I covered his eyes in glossy accents, which came out yellow?

Hmm I colored them blue, weird! Maybe just lighting:P

Supplies:

Cotton candy cardstock by Simon Says

Patterned paper from Recollections

Memento tuxedo black ink

Sequins from Fancy Pants

Glossy accents by Ranger

I stamped my images on a tag I created out of white cardstock and colored with colored pencils.

The sentiment looks a little faded in the picture but it's because I covered it with wink of Stella glitter pen and it doesn't show up on the picture.

I used Schoolhouse red cardstock as my card base and stamped the background images with the same colored ink to give it a tone on tone look. I also lightly sprayed the background gold Perfect Pearls Mist to add some texture.
