Bugaboo Stamps has the greatest freebies this week...SOCK MONKEYS! I had to make a card with at least one of them. Colored him with Prisma and Gamsol, enhanced the white parts with a little glitter glaze. Added some buttons and a paper-pieced car. All the paper is scraps (I'm trying to be good....) and the punch is MS. That little bit of punched border makes this card an entry in Practical Scrappers Challenge this week. Added some buttons and a "HI" sentiment from a $1 Michael's stamp, cut out and placed on a handy 1 3/4" George circle. Great black trim from Tuesday Morning, 3 rolls for $1.29!
My dad's birthday is on Mother's Day...so that means I've got to get busy on the card making!!! There was a great sketch on the RAQ challenge on the Cricut board last week....I knew it would be perfect for Dad's card. But what to put on it...... PolkaDoodle to the rescue. Their challenge this week is monochromatic. When I started searching through paper, I found a great monochromatic red argyle and it was all the inspiration I needed. The car (my dad LOVES cars) is from Every Day Paper Dolls, cut at 1 1/4", added some silver metallic foil for windows and silver dew drops. The stamp is from Hero Arts (a $1 set at Big Lots) and DAD is from Plantin Schoolbook. Used the argyle embossing folder for texture.
