Your Next Stamp Design Team Dare - Silly Monsters Chill Out

It's again time for the November Your Next Stamp Design Team Dare Challenge. Each month the design team is given a special challenge to help show off the new release stamps and dies.

This month as we see winter and snow on it's way, our YNS DT Dare theme is......WINTER FUN!

I love the Silly Monsters, and SILLY MONSTERS CHILL OUT, was of course the perfect set for the  winter fun DT dare challenge. I showcased this snowball throwing monster in this simple card framed using the CIRCLE and STITCHING MARK CIRCLE die.

I love colouring fur on these monsters. It's so fun and you really can get creative with your colours. This one I used a number of pink and purples. For my colouring preference I start with my darkest colours and work out on the image getting lighter as I go!

Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog and look for the November DT Dare post. Leave a comment on that post for the chance to WIN a stamp set of your choice!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
