MONSTER PARTY

 Morning Everyone,

When I was searching through my digi images for something last week I came across this Bugaboo image and thought it would be a fun image to colour.



I had a look through my mountains of papers and found some brightly coloured pieces and so coloured my monsters with copics to match.  They were cut out with a notched square die and matted with black and then I had this mad idea to get my sewing machine out and use that around the edges.  Normally when I want stitches I sew by hand, but I fancied having a go at zig zag stitch across the joins of the papers.  I hadn't even used my machine for zig zag before so had to have a practice on some scrap.  They worked really well so I was quite pleased for a first attempt.  My straight stitching went a bit wonky though, especially when I reached the corners, but they don't look too bad.

I finished it off with a few enamel dots, a stitched banner die for the sentiment and a Sending die from SSStamp.

Typing this on Sunday night after watching Emma Raducanu get beat in the tennis, which was a bit disappointing as she had played so well up to now.

I would like to enter:

Thank you for visiting and I will be back later in the week.
