Simple card and monkeys!

Yesterdays challenge over on SCS was the limited supply challenge - to make one layer cards and the only stamp you could use was a sentiment but embellishments could be anything...http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233000


Here are my simple cards...

All sentiments are by DRS Designs - link on the right...be sure to check out their list of discontinued stamps while you are there - be sure to get some great images

before they are gone...


first is a wedding card - I used kraft paper and stamped in chocolate chip ink. The hearts are sizzix...cut from chipboard...I inked them with chalk inks...my first time!!! I love those inks - I can't believe it took me this long to try them!! I ran some ribbon around the card and pierced the top - easy peasy!!

Next up are two baby cards...


I drew the letters on white shirt cardboard, cut them out and inked them with chalk ink...tied on some ribbon. The sentiments are stamped in chalk in and then I added some jewels for filler. I made a photo corner from a scalloped square and cuttlebugged it with my swirl folder.

I think I like the girl card better!!!

And last are the monkeys!!!

DD#2 has had a fascination for monkeys and I have been meaning to do this project for her room. I found some monkey gift attachments at Target and thought they would be perfect for this. I found a frame at the $1 store...used some left over scraps and borrowed my friends Deb's sizzix palm tree (thanks Deb!). After cutting the tree I used my dotted folder and my swirl folder to emboss as well as on the leaves - those are embossed with just the swirls. I cut some felt leaves too for some variation...punched some tiny flowers and added jewels in the center. The monkeys are raised on pop dots! Quick, easy and fun!!!

Just thought I would pop in with this update - I'm on the run again now that we are dug out from our Nor'easter of yesterday!! Have a good weekend...
See you soon...
