Love you!

Since I wasn't loving how my sock monkeys were turning out, I tried something different with this one. I stamped the monkey once on whisper white c/s then again in black on the choc. chip DP. I then cut the monkey out and cut off the parts that I wanted to leave white. Glued the dp on the white monkey and voila...a spotted monkey! I popped the heart up with a dimensional and used real red DP for the layer underneathI thought he turned out quite cute.
Wait until you see tomorrows post....It involves more watercoloring and it is VERY cool!

This was another attempt at watercoloring, I used a different technique with my water color pencils and aqua painter, instead of using ink pads.

Diorama card

Okay, I LOVE this card. I bought this stamp set (Carte Postal) ages ago and had never used it. I was originally going to use Unfrogettable, but decided that would be too much cutting! It is hard to see the detail in the layers, and it folds down to fit in a regular envelope!

New stamp set

This is one of the new in colors-Rich Razzleberry. I clear embossed the image and brayed the ink over the top, simple, but elegant!

Boho Blossoms

Markus was up at 7am this morning and wanted to go in the "craftbook" room, as he calls it, to create something. So I decided to make a card while he played. I wanted to try sewing on a card...as you can see it is not very straight!! I cut the front out with the circle punch and used a piece of acetate to create the window. The flowers are the boho blossoms puch with all three flowers layered and held together with a brad. I also stamped with one of my background stamps in versamark on the bottom "really rust" piece.

I'm not really sure what to call this....but it was fun to make! It is a "wallet" with a belly band around it. There are 3 envelopes (the long open ended ones), I forgot to take a pic of the inside.....anyways, they flip down and are also decorated. I used the stamp set Dreams du jour and colored it with my SU markers....looks much better than my water-coloring!

I love it when OTHER people watercolor...I can never seem to get it to look right. This is a birthday card for a party that Markus went to today. I started out trying to do the mojo-monday sketch but it turned into this!
