Take 3 Challenge - Color Challenge - Take 3

And finally ... here is my Take 3 card using this demask home-made paper and this awesome color combo.

I had spent many nights dreaming of this card ... the colors, the pop of red, the stripes, the demask, the shape.  Gotta love when a card turns out close to what you originally invision!  And this is an example of how you can use partial images/sentiments.  The strawberry actually comes from a house mouse image ... my favourite ... sleeping with strawberries.  I only used one of the berries, obviously.  The sentiments are also from bigger sentiments (both from Mixed Messages).  The "you're" is from the 'you're too kind' and the "Sweet" is from the 'Sweet baby' sentiment. 

That was a FUN Take 3 Challenge.  I might have to do that again.  I know I will be using this colour combo again sometime soon!  Yummy!!

Hope you have a great rest of your week.

Happy Birthday, Monkey!

I made this for a friend of my son. He is a little monkey so when I sat down to create his card, I knew I had to use this little Chagito monkey!!

I colored in Chagito using my new Copic markers.

The mat behind the image was created to match perfectly by using the Mustard Copic marker on a piece of white cardstock. The stripes were a bit of leftover from an old project. I made the strips using the "Plaid Maker" from Stampin' Up (no longer sold). But it was only the dark brown strip. I added the line of mustard by drawing it with the Mustard Copic marker. Same with the sentiment, the outline was simply drawn with the Copic marker. And talking about sentiment...don't you love that one! Heheeh, I will admit that I had made the e like that by accident...but upon looking at it, I loved it!! It was perfect... a happy accident!!

Supplies: Stamps-Changito (Stampabilities), Birthday Basics (Papertrey Ink), letter stamps (Dollar Store); Ink-Chocolate Chip, Basic Black (Stampin' Up!); Paper-Whisper White (Stampin' Up!); Other - oval nestabilities (Spellbinders), Plaid Maker (Stampin' Up! - no longer sold).
