How-to make a Monster Card

Lydia shows you how to create a Halloween Monster card using green, white, black, purple, and silver cardstock, punches, a gel pen, and a felt tip marker. This cute monster is made with virtually no ink, and is another creative way to use your punches. Lydia shows you a sponging technique to make the eyelids and nose stand out from the matching background, and gives you some suggestions on placement of the eyes to give the monster a little added personality.
