JBWW Monkey

Sherry (a.k.a. Bad Sherry) and Jeanne (a.k.a JeanneS) have started a blog challenge called *Just Because We Wanna* Challenge. The latest one is a Sketch challenge. This was the perfect sketch for me to use my monkey papers.

I have been wanting to use this monkey paper with my monkey stamp. I wasn't satisfied with my background (too light to go with these papers) so I cut him out and popped his body out (his tail is adhered flat for stability).

I think it turned out to be a happy/smiley card! And a bit different than most of the projects I have been working on lately.

Materials:

• Stamp: Great Impressions
• Paper: DP from Reminisce: Close to Cocoa, Summer Sun and Lovely Lilac from SU!
• Ink: StazOn Jet Black
• Accessories: PrismaColor Pencils, LOMS, Blending stumps, Stampin Dimensionals from SU!, brads

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Monkey Fun!

I found these papers at a scrapbook store. It is by Reminisce. I have a couple of monkey stamps--so I thought I would give them a try. I tried coloring the monkey with pencils but I couldn't get the right vibrancy. So I tried my first love, water coloring.

Though, the coloring is not perfect (need to work on my shadows) I was much happier with the end result.

I used chalk/pastels, a sponge dauber and a homemade cloud template for the sky.

Though I am not totally satisfied with this--he looks TONS better than his predecessors.

Materials:

• Stamps: Karen Foster Snap Stamps-1/4" Casual, Monkey by Great Impressions
• Ink: StazOn Jet Black, various dye inks by SU! for water coloring
• Paper: DP (see above), Garden Green, Almost Amethyst, Chocolate Chip by SU!, white
• Accessories: Flower by Prima, Brad by SEI, Corner Rounder, Cloud Scissors by Fiskars
