ICRC28: Card/Project with Speech Bubble and a Witty/Pun Sentiment


Happy April Everyone!

 April is my favorite month of the year!  The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and the sun is warming everything up.  It's also my birthday month!

The beginning of a new month brings new challenges our way, and we have one for you over at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM!   This was a fun card to make, as I loved the witty/sentiment idea!  
Here is the Challenge for the month of April
ICRC28: Card/Project with Speech Bubble and a Witty/Pun Sentiment

When I was first putting together ideas for this card, I could only think monsters!  I've been wanting to use these monster digis that I had found a while back.  I colored them in with my copic markers, and added the googly eyes.  The sewing took quite some time, as the holes were so close to the edges.  I had to be careful not to cause any tears.  I stamped out my sentiment, drew a border around it with my maker for the speech bubble, and cut it out.  The sentiment is from the "Monster Mash" stamps set.  I've had this set from The Alley Way Stamps for almost a year now, and was excited to finally use it!

Here is my card...

    Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers for our humour challenge. Thanks also for bearing with us with the link moderating thing. Sadly it became necessary because of the large number of people who appeared to not have bothered to read our challenge requirements.

    Love your cute little monsters with their little googly eyes.

    Good luck!

    Adorable card and monsters!The stitching does look like it took quite some time! Thank you for sharing this with my Stitching (real or faux) challenge this month on my blog @ Sandy's Crafty Creations; however, I don't see a link to my challenge so I can't count your entry towards the random drawing but if you add the link and let me know I'd be happy to put it back in the running. Thanks so much!
