Lovely Sock Monkey (Craftin Desert Divas)

Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I have another card for you that I made with a digi stamp from Craftin Desert Divas. I just love this sock monkey. I printed him on Neenah Solar White paper and colored him in with Spectrum Noir markers (monkey: blender, BG1, BG33, BG4, BG6, BG7, scarf and ear muffs: CR10, CR2, CR6, CR7).


For the background I used Canson mixed media paper. I pressed Cracked Pistachio, Pine Needles, Peacock Feathers and Mustard Seed Distress inks on a slick surface, spritzed them with water and pressed my paper into the ink a couple of times, drying it in-between. For the splatters of color I used Gansai Tambi watercolor #30. But somehow I wasn't enjoying the background in combination with the monkey. It was far to bright. So I decided to put some vellum over it. I cut a circle from both the background and the vellum and adhered it together.


I didn't have a sentiment to go with the monkey so I just wrote down the phrase "You're loved" in a nice font, switched the color to a dark red and printed it on vellum. And I really love that look!  I cut it into a thin strip and cut out a triangular shape on one side.
To assemble the card I adhered the circle in the center of the card and the sentiment below it on the left side. At first I wanted to place the monkey directly in the center of the circle but it didn't look right for me. When I moved him down a little bit it somehow looked much nicer. For finishing touches I also placed some red enamel stickers on the card.
