Happy New Year! We are ready for a crafty new year at Creative Inspiration Challenges for January with our sponsor All Dressed Up Stamps! Thanks so much to them for sponsoring us and their continued support of our challenge! Please check out their shop at Etsy and see all the awesome images! I had a play with Bushy Tail and and Birthday Monkey! I love squirrels and have dozens jumping through the oak trees on my property all year round! I spend hours just sitting on the front porch watching them be so industrious and calm at the same time!
I colored Bushy Tail with markers first then gave some texture and defining with my colored pencils. I added some white gel pen for some highlights. I made a hexagon pop up card following a tutorial at Beccy’s Place A - Z Cards. This was such a fun fold card to do and I only had one mistake worth mentioning but I am remaining silent! 😉
Next up was Birthday Monkey! What a hilarious little guy! Still following Beccy’s Place card tutorials but this time a spring fold card! I colored him the same way as the 🐿️ but encountered a problem when I decided to add green glitter tempura paint to my green panels after gluing them down! I knew as I did it there was going to be some warping and bubbling but I kept right on going! There is a moral to that story! I still love the spring up element of the card and this adorable little monkey makes it fun!
Now I am going to sit back and visit your blogs as you enter your FAB-tastic projects! Join us at Creative Inspiration Challenges for January!
