Classic Monster - Stampers Anonymous

This summer I was watching a favorite YouTuber of ours on a trip to England and he was sharing about his tour of Bath and somethingas about Mary Shelley and Frankenstein. I learned some wierd things about Shelley that day and it tuck with me through the making season I guess. 

So when I saw this Stampers Anonymous Classic #6 stamp set was part of the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween Curation, I just had to make a Frankenstein monster out of it.  

 

Here is the video tutorial where I show how I made Frank out of the four borders on the Classic #6 set. 

 That pinked border is the one that inspired this make. I saw it and immediately thought ...Frankenstein's Monster hair! 

 The eyes took a bit more thinking, and as I often do, I stared at the set for awhile and then went to sleep on it. It's usually while I'm sleeping or showering that I get an idea to work with  that's when I realized the scallop border would be a great shape for the eyes.

Of course the scars or stitches stamp was obvious. but the nose, mouth and eyebrows again gave me some trouble.

That's when I realized I could just freehand a few shapes out of that long rectangle border and it would be simple. Last year I sewed a primitive Frank Halloween poke using Tim's Eclectic Elements fabric and I had done that with felt, so I figured why not with paper?

 I didn't want to make a card without a sentiment, so I pulled out my Halloween Tiny Text CMS409 for the "peculiar detached fragments" which I thought was perfect for this card!

That's all there is to this card. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial video. Thanks so much for taking time to check this out!

 Have a creative day,
