The monster possibilities are endless with this set; even shaker cards are possible, and every monster you build will be adorable. I used the new <a href=\"https:\/\/prettypinkposh.com\/products\/halloween-words-stencil\">Halloween Words Stencil<\/a> for my background and propped up my monster on top of his stash of C<a href=\"https:\/\/prettypinkposh.com\/products\/candy-treats-dies?_pos=1&amp;_sid=1cc71798d&amp;_ss=r\">andy Treats<\/a>. Follow along to see how I make this fun Halloween Monster card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">To start, I stenciled the background using the <a href=\"https:\/\/prettypinkposh.com\/products\/halloween-words-stencil\">Halloween Words Stencil <\/a>and a rainbow of Distress Oxide Inks on kraft cardstock. Then, I splattered the background with thinned white gouache paint before die cutting it with the largest <a href=\"https:\/\/prettypinkposh.com\/products\/stitched-torn-rectangles-dies?_pos=1&amp;_sid=998327b64&amp;_ss=r\">Stitched Torn Rectangle Die<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Next, I die cut the elements for my monster and all the candy treats from white and kraft cardstock. I also die cut some of the bones from the <a href=\"https:\/\/prettypinkposh.com\/products\/big-halloween-cupcake-dies\">Big Halloween Cupcake Dies<\/a> set. Then, I inked the kraft cardstock elements with Distress Oxides before building my monster and all the candy treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">To assemble my card design, I attached the candy treats with a combination of liquid adhesive and foam squares, piling them at the bottom of the background panel. Then, I propped my monster at the top with foam squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">To finish things up, I heat embossed a sentiment from the <a href=\"https:\/\/prettypinkposh.com\/products\/sentiment-strips-halloween-stamp-set?_pos=2&amp;_sid=6dcd7b345&amp;_ss=r\">Sentiment Strips: Halloween Stamp Set<\/a> with white embossing powder on black cardstock before die cutting it with one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/prettypinkposh.com\/products\/sentiment-strips-dies?_pos=1&amp;_sid=f6a177a67&amp;_ss=r\">Sentiment Strip Dies<\/a>. I attached the sentiment with foam squares and then layered my background panel with a white and a black cardstock panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Thanks for stopping by and following along as I created this fun Halloween card using just some of the wickedly good new things over in the <a href=\"https:\/\/prettypinkposh.com\/collections\/whats-new\">Pretty Pink Posh shop<\/a>.
