I stamped out 3 of the monsters from the set and also created some post-it note masks of each of them. I covered up the monsters with the masks and blended on some Tim Holtz Distress Inks through a Diane Reaveley Dylusions Quotes Bubbles stencil behind them. This masking and stenciling backgrounds technique is a favorite of mine, and I love how the Claritystamp Stencil Brushes<\/a><\/span> make it so easy to do smooth blending like this (no sponge or felt marks here!) for a soft ombre look. For the red monster, I used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink<\/a><\/span>; the blue monster got Dried Marigold Distress Ink<\/a><\/span>; and the ladybug monster got a combination of Squeezed Lemonade and Spun Sugar<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Then I Copic colored each monsters with the following colors: Next I was on the hunt for sentiments that I thought would compliment the monsters well. I found two from an old Inkadinkado stamp set called “Kids Quotes” that I thought went well with the red and blue monsters. The third one I made up using the Concord & 9th Sophisticated Script Stamp Set<\/a><\/span> to spell “monster” and hand writing in “hugs!!!”<\/p>\n Disclosure: Many of the supplies I\u2019ve used for today\u2019s project are linked.\u00a0Some may be affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
