Monkey Sketch 74

DSCF8066

Oh, those sweet girls Terry & Shirley over A La Card Monkey---they asked me to be a guest designer again!  Of course I said “yes”!  Here’s the sketch, with the theme “You’ve Got A Friend”:

Monkey 74 Friend-001

and I was just looking for an excuse to get my new Creative Elements inky:

Monkey 74

I hadn’t done anything vintage for a while….the Well Worn DP gave me my colors.  I first stamped the emblem image from Artistic Etchings and punched them out.  Then the floral image was stamped first in Versamark, then Night of Navy and stamped on Very Vanilla, then embossed with Clear embossing powder and shaded with Crumb Cake.

I stamped the flourish on some First Edition DP, layered it with vellum; stamped the frame and sentiment from You’re A Gem on another piece of vellum and layered it on top.  SU’s new beautiful velvet ribbon and an Antique brad finished it off.

I hope you’ll play along with all the other creative stampers at the Card Monkey this week!!!

Just a fun little picture of MY little grand-monkey:

  2. Oh, LeAnne, this is just stunning! I need to make a card for a friend's upcoming wedding and knew I wanted to use vellum so I was happy to see your card. You have inspired me with your beautiful use of the vellum and the layout. Hope all is well, my friend!

  3. Wow! No wonder they keep inviting you to be the guest designer! That sketch would have thrown me off with the center image of flowers & butterfly. Love this Night of Navy on Vanilla & Vellum! Fantastic LeAnne! You can make more vintage please! Lets see some Vintage Christmas soon!!
