My Stampin' Up! Classes

Friday, May 13, 2011

I used Recess for the new Monkey Challenge 56: A Kid Card + A Sketch...


It's a new challenge on the A la Card Monkey blog, and I've chosen this cute girl on the slide from the Recess stamp set, having her hold a balloon from Crazy for Cupcakes.


I watercolored the images with ink pads and an aqua painter after stamping them in Basic Black. I love the bright colors of the Play Date dsp and pulled the Real Red and Tempting Turquoise directly that it. I used the sketch below to make my card.
I didn't mean for my words to turn this way, but something wonky happened so here they are. I used a stamp from the new Summer Mini hostess set Swirls & Curls Verses. Cute, isn't it?


So now it's your turn to get creative. Make a project using the sketch above and link it to http://alacardmonkey.blogspot.com/ by next Thursday at midnight. Make something a kid would love! And have a great weekend.

Stamps: Recess, Swirls & Curls Verses, Crazy for Cupcakes;
Ink: Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black, and Soft Suede ink pads, Blush Blossom marker;
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Playdate dsp;
Accessories: Brights Buttons, aqua painter, dimensionals, 3" circle die for the Big Shot, 5/8" Early Espresso satin ribbon, 1/8" Real Red taffeta.
