sock monkey suspension card

sock-monkey-suspension-diane-zechman.jpgA few days ago I was invited to stamp with some friends and this is the card I made to share.  I wasn’t sure whether I was fond of this monkey, but I think he’s growing on me.  LOL.  He was colored with Prisma pencils and Gamsol and then I paper pieced his body and tail.  It looks cute IRL.  The circle with the cupcake is suspended on a piece of SU linen thread and there’s another circle on the opposite side with the party hat image.  Directions on making a Suspension card can be found here.  The fake dew drops around the monkey were a gift….I thought they would be cute here to finish off the corners.

    This is so really cute! First I didn’t like the monkey, but after looking twice I think he is really sweet.

    I LOVE your use of the argyl dp for your sock monkey! Carol Duvall would be proud!
