sock monkey banner
Yesterday I received the new SU! Sock Monkey set which is a preview for the upcoming new catalog. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the sock monkey or not, but I think he’ll grow on me. LOL. When I first saw the set, I knew I’d want to make the pennant into a banner. I haven’t been over to the SCS gallery, so I don’t know if anyone else had the same idea but I think it worked out pretty well. (EDIT to add: I guess I wasn’t the only one! Hehe.) I used a non-SU alphabet to add the letters. The Basic Gray layer was embossed only on the bottom and a craft white ink was applied very lightly to bring out the texture.
The layout for this card came from Holly’s sketch. I turned it though so I could fit the banner on. Holly and a few of us other Dirty Dozen gals decided to have a few blog challenges since we’re missing all the fun at CHA. ;) Check back tomorrow and I will have another sketch for you. And I’ll try to post the other challenges with links as well. We hope you’ll play along!

He’s so cute Diane! He’s wonderfully colored with the copics too! Now you’re make me regret not ordering him!
I LOVE this card! The banner is so neat! I just got this set yesterday and was thinking of what I could do with it….this is the best idea yet! I am loving it! I am going to have to do one of these!!
