Monkey 109

 DSCF0888

Hey peeps!  Or maybe I should say “sheeps” today, because my card has a sweet little lamb featured on it!  I used the sketch from A La Card Monkey for this week:

to make a birthday card for a special friend who likes to knit!

I used some new papers from the upcoming catalog called Comfort Cafe and one of the new In Colors, Midnight Muse, paired with Crumb Cake.  I LOVE this combination!  The little images from Hand Knit were simply stamped in Midnight Muse, punched with a circle punch, then outlined quickly (don’t look too closely!) with a Sahara Sand marker!  I did pop up the little ball of yarn:

and made a couple of little tags for a gift to tuck inside the envelope (pardon the bad photography here):

What a fun sketch!  Thanks, Terry & Shirley! 

Already Cassidy is a discerning artist, perusing carefully her blue crayon (every crayon is “blue” to her!):

Lovely! The color combination is beautiful and such a wonderful card for someone who knits (wish I did!). The tag is awesome. I can see these as hangtags on beautifully knit pieces. And your budding artist...what else can I say but "she's adorable"! But you know that already!

Cheers!

I love your card, LeAnne. Those colors are terrific, as is your paper choices. I especially love the little ball of yard popped up. That is so cute! Thanks for taking part in our A La Card Monkey challenge.

I can think of about 100 women that would FLIP over this card! I'm included in that number as well. What a really sharp and attractive card and the knitting texture comes through perfectly!!!

Great card Leann, I love the colors you've chosen, and I didn't look to closely, besides that's what's best about things handmade. Anyway adorable, and your sweet daughter is going to be just like mom I can see it now. Thanks for playing along with the Monkey Challenge.

LeAnne - this is amazing!! I love the details you added to this card. The paper is divine, the yarn pop-up is genius and the outlining looks faboo! I love the way you used the Edgelits too!

It feels so good to be back catching up on posts and commenting. I just love this card! Midnight Muse is bee-yoo-ti-ful!

Adorable card. I love this colour combo and these new papers are so pretty. I like the little tags too.
So Cassidy loves blue like her Grammy?? She is certainly contemplating that crayon isn't she?

Haha, that intense "crayon stare", is cracking me up! Too cute! Love your card, too. The pattern mix of the DSP is so pretty with that stamp set. Very pretty! :)
