A New Card for SoS Challenge 52 and Some Wild Animals!

I just got the cutest SU set ever by doing a marathon swap on SCS! I found this adorable Sock Monkey set for trade, but the owner wanted current SU CS that was NIP to trade for it. Well, I don't have any current, NIP. So, I found someone else that DID, and traded them for a set I don't use anymore, then I turned around and traded the CS for my Sock Monkey! Cool, eh? I thought this card would work well for the Spoonfull of Sugar Challenge #52, which is to make a "Celebration" Card because they just turned 1 year old! YAAAYYYY!!!

Here is the card I made...I think he turned out pretty good, but I am still working on how to get that "heathered-brown" look for the color. I colored him with Copics, added Glossy Accents and a Bow Tie with some SU 3/16" Red Gingham. I trimmed him and popped him up on foam dots. The brown and red ribbons are from Stuffmart, the buttons and brads are from my stash. The sentiment came with the set. The CS is Real Red and Chocolate Chip from SU and the DP is from a DCWV stack called "Classic Carstock and Prints."

I followed the theme onto the inside and added the "man-bow" in the gingham.

Isn't this little guy too cute? He is a week old! We went to the Greek Fest in town and they had a petting zoo. I will post more pics later in the week of the kids with the animals...and speaking of animals....

Get a load of this pair of wild animals! hehehehe

Blessings!
