Monsters and Aliens, Oh My! Cards for kids

 I made a few monster cards and an alien card. They're for kids, but I guess adults might like them, too. LOL

A few  steps and cards were made!

First up, is this cute alien card. I made the background look like a galaxy over a planet by brushing on some purple and blue and then brushing the planet orange. I hand colored the aliens and then die cut them out and placed them on the planet and one flying away with a balloon.

For these 3 birthday cards I used monsters and colored them with prismacolored pencils and blended with gamsol. I mixed the ink colors on the flags and stamped them in opposite directions

To make the picture frames for the monsters I used 2 square dies nested together to make wide sides and wide bottom, like a polaroid picture.

I stamped the sentiment and punched it out and then  inked the edges.

It wasn't too difficult to make all 4 of these cards, and it was fun to work with some new stamps that I got from a friend for Christmas.

I hope you liked these cards for kids (and maybe adults)

Keep on Craftin'
