Since the weather has been more like April than Jan around here, I'll trade the sweater & cocoa for a big HUG. And a warm coral color.
I stamped these adorable Little Monsters, colored & die cut w/ the matching dies. I came across this acrylic painted bg in my stash (done who knows how long ago) & the colors went perfectly w/ the images. For the coral layer, I used circles & stitched circles to die cut it, then used a mask I made w/ these same dies to sponge some white & marigold inks onto it.
Then I found a shades of mint paint chip, die cut it behind the coral layer. The greeting was added on a white circle w/ one of the leftover coral stitched circles around it.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, Copic colors & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

It's unseasonably warm here too, Julie. My nieces, over from Australia, found it hard to wrap their heads around the fact that we all thought it was warm for the time of year, and then they had a couple of frosty nights just to show them. Those monsters are totally adorable and beautifully, as always, coloured. Super fun layout too with all the circles.

You created such a perfect setting for those adorable monsters. Love all the circular frames offsetting the circles on the coral paper and enamel dots.
