MONSTER UNDER THE BED!?!? Action Wobbles Card

by Sandy Allnock | Sep 11, 2015 | Copic/Alcohol Marker Intermediate, Specialty Projects | 28 comments

When I was a kid, I was SURE there was a monster under my bed. If the light was off, he’d reach out for my ankles, so I turned off the light and made a flying leap to my bed, to escape being grabbed. However – if the monster was THIS cute, I think I wouldn’t have worried!

This is a Copic-colored card, but the truly special part is how our little monster is sticking out from under the “bedspread”….this is one of those videos you need to see to believe.

I love how the bedspreadh came out looking like it’s quilted!

Great card! I know the kiddos in my life would love it but I also know plenty of adults too. For more polka dot paper, try Lawn Fawn’s Let’s Polka collections.

Hi Sandy, Lawn Fawn has some AWSOME polka dot papers in several collections that may work for others.
Thanks for this FANTASTIC idea for the quilt (and the monster is almost too cute for words).

I just watched this video with my jaw on the floor. You have such great ideas for these critters, and can execute them perfectly. This card is awesome. I love watching your videos. I’m hoping I’ll learn to color like you by osmosis lol.

I forgot to tell you in my comments on YouTube how cute the bedspread looked. It really looked kinda quilted and tufted. You made it look so simple. Love that die, too.

Great card! A comment on the above post where the link took someone to shareasale – that’s the first web address that comes up when I click the link but then it redirects to Simon Says Stamps.

We must be having some sort of karmic connection here–I bought that stamp last week and was trying to decided how to color it! Now here’s a great example to inspire me. I’ll be giving this a try this weekend!
