ALL WIRED UP!!!!!

Hello everyone: Well, I must say that the challenge over at "Less is More" had me scratching my head and pondering all day yesterday, I really, really wanted to participate but I honestly had trouble figuring out how to incorporate WIRE into my card. I look around this room at all of my stamp sets, all I saw were beautiful flowers, cute little critters, fabulous Fairies, balloons, cakes.....but nothing that I could add wire to so I just put it out of my mind for a while and kept cleaning up this room and getting the boxes for my 11 year old granddaughter's Art Club ready to take to the school on Monday, with stuff I don't use anymore, from pattern paper to ribbon, embellishments and other stuff I know this kids would love to have.
But, when I was gathering my SU cling stamps to dust the shelf, what do I see!!! the cutest little monsters ever!! I grabbed this set called "Monstermaniacs" from October 2013 and I knew right then this is what I was going to use to participate in this challenge, I just mask the Monsters' antennae to substitute it with wire. Here is my card.

I stamped the image onto a panel of Canson water color paper with Stazon Jet Black in and colored it with my Derwent water color pencils. I bought a set of 12 the other day on sale, love the colors.
When I finished coloring them, I grabbed some copper colored jewelry wire, cut a piece and wrap it around a tapestry needle several times to create the antennae for my little monsters. I more or less followed the picture on the front of the stamp case, then I pierced a small hole on top of them, inserted the wire and taped it in the back. It was a bit time consuming but I really like the way it turned out. Here is a close up of this cute and adorable Monsters.

This set is just so perfect for kids cards, here is a picture of the finish inside, I used the other little monster in the set here.

And here is the picture of this fun stamp set.

This is the banner from "Less is More", the recipe this week is to

I hope you like my little monsters, thank you for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.
