Made by mistake...

"Get well soon" sock monkey

I didn't make this guy on purpose. It was only by chance. I have to make cards for my swap at my up lines house for this month. And when I was coloring them in I guess I forgot to color his arm in. So as I noticed it, it looked like a cast. I popped up his arm with dimensional and it looks realistic in person. I didn't have a small enough get well stamp so i printed it on the computer.

Ingredients:

Paper: New In color, kiwi kiss, pacific point, DSP= bella rose

Ink: choc. chip, close to cocoa, barely banana, New pink

Access: SU silver brads, tempting turquoise ribbon(which matches pretty good) and the mat pack

star punches=small and big, window punch, photo punch, the new awesome SU scallop punch which is going to be in the fall/winter 2009 catalog.

SU preview-window dressing set

I got my new stamp set from stampin' up and I wanted to play with it a bit. I wanted to use the cute little girt but I have noticed that everyone else uses her so I thought that I would do something different. I used the flowers. The only think is that I also used the dazzling diamonds on the flowers but you cant really see them all that well.
