Cupcake challenge 32 monsters

I can't believe it's that time again, this week seems to have gone so quickly. It's time for the cupcake challenge again and this week Sarah set the challenge. She chose monsters, cute ones not scary ones. This will be quite a challenge for some, but we look forward to seeing what you all come up with.
I would also like to congratulate the new DT on their posts and look forward to seeing what you come up with. I will now be able to join in and hopefully win some of those loely prizes

While making my card I realised that I hadn't got any monster stamps or images so decided to havea go a drawing mine and then making them into digital images. I realy anjoyed having a play and in total design 5 monsters. This is one of them on my card and I will show you the others in future cards. I enjoyed it so much that i am thinking of making some other digital images to so keep a look out here to see what i come up with, and any idea's of images you would like to see would be gratefully appreciated.

To make this card I also used the sketch at Dutch Dare as it seemed to fit perfectly with the theme
DP. I really can't remember where i got these papers from. I know they were a download but i just can't sem to find them anywhere in my files

Egbert

A couple of Days ago I recieved these absolutely gorgeous stamps from Bearly Mine Designs and couldn't wait to ink them up and get them inked up and coloured. I also got some free matching papers with them which are just so cute. Donna makes just the most scrummy paper CD's and her husband Alan has written a great story to go with them which you can find the first 2 installments here. I can't wait for the next installment.

This card has been made with Egbert, the sketch at Charisma Cardz and the recipe at CCT.

Now on to my card. I Have used the sketch at Papertake weekly and the Theme at Creative Belli which is a book cover inspirational picture
Not sure who the image is by as i was sent it in a RAK a long while ago.
