All the fun Valentine gifts and decor are on full display every where you go. Recently I was walking through Walmart and saw some cute little stuffies for Valentines Day, they were little monsters. And so cute. So that is what inspired todays card. I pulled out my Eyes On You stamp set from Halloween and decided to use it to make a Valentine card.
Below you can see the little monsters that sparked my creativity.
I loved the pink and purple together and so that is the color scheme I used for this Paper Bag Envelope Card.
For this card I started with a die set from Spellbinders called the Paper Bag Envelope. It is currently on clearance for $8.09! Which is a reason to love it, right!
The top layer of my paper bag, the background, was die cut using one of the dies from this set. Then I used my True Color Fusion inks by FSJ to blend a background. Then I stamped the heart from the Eyes on You stamp set over the top of the blended background in the same colors as the ink I used. The ink colors are: Grape Fusion, Watermelon Fusion, and Bubble Gum.
The insert for this Paper Bag Envelope is 3-1/8" x 4-7/8", I personally write this on the packaging for the die, so that each time I go to use this die I do not have to figure out what size to cut my insert.
To color in my monsters I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. These are a water based marker, that blend with each other. I used #084 - Deep Violet, #080 - Violet, #083 - Lilac, and #999 - Blender for the large monster on the front. I accented the monster in the card insert with #026 - Light Pink. One important think you want to take note of here, these markers work the best on Bristol Smooth card stock by Strathmore. If you have tried these markers and have not loved the result give them a second try on Bristol Smooth card stock and you will change you mind. I have also used these markers on image that have been stamped and embossed with black powder on watercolor paper and have loved the result as well.
