Stampabilities Sock Monkey Rubber Stamp - Missing You

Howdy! I created this card for Operation Write Home because more child-friendly "missing you" cards are needed.  I used Stampabilities Sock Monkey Rubber Stamp (wood mounted) and colored him up with Spectrum Noir BG2, BG4, & BG5 with a little CR9 for the red lips and pompom. I used Copic's E42 for the hands, feet, tail and face.  

This little guy is mounted on black card stock and I used The Paper Studio's "Sock Monkey" background paper (found at my local Hobby Lobby.) I used an EK Success Button Punch, a "Missing You" sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs "Missing You Set", and added some hand-stitching in red Omega thread.

Our Daily Bread Designs November OWH Challenge



Hello everyone! Every month Our Daily Bread Designs will pay for the shipping on two boxes of cards to our Hero's if 50 cardmakers participate in the monthly challenge. This month's challenge is to create a Valentine or Love card. You can find details on this challenge here:

I created this card using scraps of 1 1/4 " squares mounted on card stock. I added the hand-stitching around all the squares and used a Viva Pearl Pen in Ice White to create the swirl. Before mounting the squares I dry embossed a couple with hearts and used one of the $1 Michael's stamps for the "I Love You" sentiment. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge #199, Mickey & Friends, Our Daily Bread Designs "Missing You", & Hero Arts "Year Round Sentiments" Stamp Set

Happy Sketch Sunday everyone! Today's sketch is #199 and here it is:
You can find details about the challenge here:



I created the Mickey & Friends card using paper from Michael's (possibly Recollections?)  that is covered with 1 3/4 " squares of Disney character faces. This is a small part of the 12x12 paper:

 I cut the individual squares down to fit the sketch size, mounted them on black card stock and popped them on dimensional adhesive.  I used white Bazzill as the background, added more layers of red and black, and then added some hand-stitching in red using Omega thread. 

The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Design's "Missing You" set and you can find it here:

I have been trying to find more ways to use this Disney character paper so I cut the squares 
down last week for this card and sketch challenge #198:

Here is last week's sketch:

You can find details about this challenge here:

I did have to alter the placement of the bow to accommodate the sentiment tag (and yes the sentiment is from a Hero Arts Operation Write Home set called "Year Round Sentiments" but I cut the rubber stamp sentiment so that I could stack it when needed.)

And since I have been playing with Disney papers all week creating child-friendly cards, I also created this one using some alphabet letters:

The sentiment on this card is from the same Hero Arts Operation Write Home set and you can find it here:
