This challenge is sponsored by Happy Little Stampers.
There are some tutorial videos included over on the main challenge blog if you need some help and advice on how to mask.
Here's my DT card, which is actually a card I made for my brother's birthday...
I started by stamping the central monster/alien which was then masked before stamping his two friends either side so that they appeared behind him. These were coloured with ProMarkers. I then used a stitched edge die and did some partial die-cutting either side and then fussy cut around the top of the characters. I wanted the blue chap to be holding the balloon so I stamped part of the string coming up from his hand and stamped the rest of the string onto some polka dot paper behind. These were adhered together onto the card base before adding the speech bubble, the balloon which was coloured and topped with Wink of Stella and to finish I added some Glossy Accents to their eyes.

Happy Little Stampers Craft Retreat 2016
Before I go, I thought I'd share some photos of the first Happy Little Stampers Craft Retreat which took place in Swindon, UK this past weekend. Our wonderful host, Kylie, who is the creator of Happy Little Stampers did an awesome job in organising this wonderful weekend, and all from Australia! She sorted everything from goody bags, crafting materials, T-shirts, aprons, hotel accommodation and meals.
