MCT: Manly Monday

Hi, today is Manly Monday over on the My Creative Time Blog. This assignment made me automatically think of the adorable dinosaur from Prehistoric Holiday. 

For my card base and my background mats, I used Stitched Squares Inside and Out dies. Then I layered a piece of scrap I had with brown card stock and adhered it to the center. 

I then used the Stitched Starburst dies to cut out the brown starburst. I layered a circle on the starburst that was cut out using the Bunch of Fun Circle dies. 

Next, I stamped the adorable little dinosaur and cut him out with the coordinating die from the Prehistoric Holiday stamp set. I then used a white gel pen to color in the spots on his  body and then I colored them in with a Copic marker. I also added white gel pen accents to his eyes. I finished him by adding Glossy Accents to his spots and eyes. I then stamped on the the "RAWR" sentiment from the same set and then adhered the dino onto the card. 

I finished the card by adding the fake stitching to the top and bottom of the card using a die from the Too Cute To Spook stamp set. Now I have a fun card to give away to a special little boy in my life. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!!
