Two More Days…but who’s counting?

Published by Michele Boyer at 6:15 am under My Designs

Hi everyone! I’ve been frantically trying to get ready for our trip…lots of laundry, lists, piles of stuff here and there to bring along.  I know I’ll forget something.  I’m just so excited!  I’ll be at CHA while my husband has the kids.  (Hmmm…maybe he too will walk into a store with a post-it note on his butt that says “Buy me toys.”  And maybe he’ll get to answer questions like “Mom, can you lick your armpit?” Yes, our children are very “entertaining.”  I’m sure they’ll have a great time!  I know I will!)

Hang in There

HIT

I’ve been eyeing these Stampendous Changito images for a while and finally decided to get a couple.  I think they’re so cute! 

For this one, I stamped the image onto the white cardstock, then paper-pieced the tire using textured paper from SEI’s new Poppy paper pad.  Some shading was added using a Copic marker.  I stamped the monkey again onto white cardstock, colored him and cut out the head/body piece, adhering it over the tire and stamped image.  You can’t tell from the photo, but I used a glossy black 3-d pen on his eyes.

I have another monkey card to show you soon.  Thanks for stopping by!  I’ll try to pop in if I can while I’m gone!  Have a great day! :)

Cardstock:  Prism White (base), Super Smooth White, Suede Brown Dark   Patterned Paper:  SEI Poppy 6×6 paper pad   Stamps: Stampendous “Changito Tire Swing,” “Hang in There” and “Palm Fronds”   Ink:  Adirondack Pitch Black   Accessories:  Copic markers, Copper clip (We R Memory Keepers), Chocolate Organdy (Offray), Sakura black 3-d gel pen, sewing machine.  Card size 5” x 5”.

    OMG-I almost choked on my blueberries when I read the “post-it note on his butt” and “Mom, can you lick your armpit?” There is no end to the entertainment kids can provide…and my boys are surely proving that as well as yours!!

    Your card is adorable! I am jealous of your perfect stitching! and because you are going to CHA…have a great time!
