Monster birthday

Good morning, it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Catz.

This fortnight we are sponsored by Last Minute Manda

The theme is Anything Goes with the option of Child's Birthday

I made a birthday card for a little boy using sponsor  images from a set called Monster Birthday Train.

For the front of the card I cropped the engine image to use just the monster balanced on the top, coloured it with my markers and added the die cut 'hello' and stamped sentiment. It looked a bit too bare so I added a doodled border. 

Inside  there's a pop up train, all coloured with markers and cut out to stand on the hand drawn track. Stencilled clouds and a peeping sun in the background. I had a lot of fun making this!



There's plenty more inspiration to enjoy over at Crafty Catz Challenge Blog.
Thanks for visiting
Have a great weekend
Chris

That cheeky monster perched on top is such a playful touch—he sets the scene brilliantly for the fun inside. The pop-up train is pure delight, bursting with color and personality, and that sunny background with stenciled clouds adds just the right hint of whimsy. You’ve truly created a joyful little adventure in card form that any child would treasure!
