I hope you all had a great St. Patty's day yesterday!
Hubby, who has Scottish blood in him, went out for a pint of beer with his dad while I (who does have Irish bloodlines) stayed home blog hopping with a cup of tea. Hmmmm...something wrong with that picture!
Anywho, I have a very sweet card for you today!
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I showed you that Need a Hug monster card I made for Victoria Case's color combo challenge? Well, I ended up winning and last week my prize arrived in the mail. Meet Sock Monkey!
He really did come to life after I colored him up! That red mouth just makes him light up. He's watercolored with SU reinkers and an aquapainter brush on Canson watercolor paper. I cut him out and layered him on some kraft cardstock and then chocolate Bazzil cardstock. Again, I used my cheapo decorative scissors to create the scalloped edge. It's much easier to to this when you cut your paper to a circle first then mount the image onto the cardstock to use as a guide. Then it's just a matter of turning your cardstock as you cut. I started the cut in the upper left hand corner so that if the scalloped didn't line up they would be covered up by the ribbon. By the way, the size of this card is 5" x 7".
I just love that chocolate ribbon! (sorry Heather) It makes it look like a wrapped up birthday present! For the sentiment, I channeled a bit of Leigh O'Brien's talents. I just love her bright and clean style! This is going to a good friend of mine who is celebrating a birthday soon.
Thank you for dropping in and have a great Wednesday!
