Today Audrie took us to a "cakes" Pinterest board for inspiration. It has a big variety of cakes from whimsical to funny to beautiful and some are amazing works of art. This cake inspired my card. I am also adding it to the SOS217/Bird challenge gallery.
I used my Stampotique Waving Spotted Monster by Kira Nichols, Kim's Paper Smooches Whimsical flowers and bird and a Quintessential Quotes sentiment by Dyan Reaveley/Ranger Dylusions. I used Versafine, Ranger distress and SU inks with a SU watercolor blender pen. My Ranger non-stick mat was handy, as usual - LOVE that mat! Used a blue Sakura jelly roll pen to color Monster's spots and added dots to the flower centers with a white Signo gel pen, which I also used to whiten Monster's two teeth. Selectively stamped and fussy cut sentiment. Added some clear Wink of Stella brush glitter for "shine" and the glossy spots are shiny, too. The inside and envelope have a partial Monster stamp that has also been partly colored. FUN card to make!
Thanks for looking!

This is sooo creative and cute. The combination of the monster and the little bird is great. All the sparkle is fun, fun, fun and works so well with the total design of your card. Love the greenish bg.
