Happy Sunday! We’ve been really busy moving around quite a few things so that I can set up my very own stamp room. Can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about that! The house is a mess, but we’re making progress! I need to get busy, looking for some furniture. WOOHOO! 🙂 Since I have to clean and sort through my mess of stamp stuff, I thought I’d fit in a bit of playing here and there. It took me a while, but I was able to finish these two cards using the latest release by C. C. Designs, “Monkey Love.” (Most of the supplies are from All That Scraps.)
I had some of this Piggy Tales patterned paper left and thought it would be perfect with the monkeys. It’s the “Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater” line. All the papers are double-sided, making coordination of colors and prints super easy.
For this first card, I used a 3/4″ circle punch for the balloons. The patterned ones are raised on pop dots. Once I drew in the strings and adhered the balloons, I decided they needed more definition so I carefully outlined them with a black marker. The package is from Lucky’s Christmas Wish. I first stamped the package onto the patterned paper and cut it out. Then stamped again onto the turquoise paper, cutting out only the ribbon and bow. I stamped the hanging monkey a second time so I could cut off his arm and adhere it over the package. The ground/grass was scribbled in with a black marker. I added some color then sponged all the edges.
I used a scrap of the patterned paper for this little 4 1/4″ square card. I stamped the flowers as if the monkey were juggling, then randomly stamped them again onto the square of patterned paper. I stumbled upon these flower eyelets at Michael’s in the sewing section.
Better get back to the moving! Thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I’ll be back soon! (Oh, she’s picking a winner tonight -Sunday- so there’s not much time, but Lindsey is having a give-away on her blog if you’re interested!)
