Sock Monkey


Happy Sunday crafty friends.  I thought I would share this adorable card I made with you this morning before my allergies overwhelm me and I can't see the computer screen!  I got this happy little sock monkey over at Bugaboo Stamps. They have some amazing stamps on their site so head over and check them out if you are looking for some new stamps at reasonable prices.  And every Friday Bugaboo offers a new freebie! How can you say no to that?

I followed the sketch over at Papertake weekly for the card layout. I colored the monkey with my promarkers. A glitter gel pen was used to make the flower pop a bit more.  All the papers and ribbon are from my stash.  The flower and pearls are new that I picked up somewhere online. I can't remember the exact place now! I used my stampin up scalloped oval and oval punches for the sentiment.  I think this makes for a very pretty fall birthday card! Enjoy your Sunday!
