Just Monkeying Around....

With the new My Favorite Things stamp sets! When I received this cute set from Kim I knew it would become on of my favorites - the animals are just adorable!!! And as usual her sayings and sentiments are just perfect.

The first card is made with the little monkey and leaves & ferns from the set. I stamped the leaves on a scrap piece of Basic Grey paper using Old Olive ink. The monkey was done with Vintage Sepia Versafine - have you used Versafine ink before??? I was on a hunt for the perfect black ink for the longest time, and finally found it in Versafine - it's a nice BLACK color - not blue or purple, but pure BLACK. I just bought the Vintage Sepia so I could have a brown ink as well, and I really like the soft color of the brown as well!

The second card has a pretty simple layout, which is a bit unusual for me. I liked how the elephant came out, he was colored with Prisma Pencils and blended with blender stumps and baby oil. I created the sky by sponging Colorbox chalk ink directly from the pad. Cardstock colors are Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, Black & White.

The third project inspired by a little package of Skittles Gum that my daughters bought - it is the cutest little box! I changed the dimensions so it was wide enough for the jungle image on this project - but my next one is gonna be the same measurements.
