Sock Monkey Birthday Card

Happy Monday!

Here is my birthday card for my youngest DS who absolutely loves monkeys - Curious George that is! Red is also his favourite colour.

I cheated with the balloons and rather than stamping the balloons and then cutting them out, I used my balloon punch that has been sitting in my drawer for ages. I outlined the balloons with a marker.

The whole monkey is paper pieced using some retired Stampin UP DS paper from a few years back. I'm beginning to like paper piecing as it does not require any colouring, although the cutting out takes some time!

I guess when you're under the gun, things get done! Two down, two more to go, plus a wedding card!

Here is the recipe: Stamps: Sock Monkey, Sincere Salutations; Paper: Real Red, Cutie Pie DS paper, retired SU DS paper, WW, bashful blue, wild wasabi; Ink: Black
