Hi there! I’m back with another exclusive collaboration for STAMPtember®! This time we are featuring the adorable Monster Hugs stamp set designed by Concord & 9th.STAMPtember®-Concord & 9th-Monster HugsI immediately thought of Sully from the Monsters, Inc. movie. We have watched that movie a million times over the years and it’s still one of my favorites, but nothing will ever beat Ratatouille for me, though:)
STAMPtember®-Concord & 9th-Monster HugsAnyways, I simply stamped the adorable images from Monsters Hugs with Memento ink and colored them with Copics. This is a smaller 3.5 x 5″ card. Sometimes you just can’t beat a super simple one-layer-wonder, right?
