Bugaboo Bingo!

Hello, it's time for the weekly Saturday Challenge at Catch The Bug, and this weeks it's Bingo!

I used the top row of the bingo board, with a brown monkey, ribbon and a Bugaboo image!  

I coloured the Sock monkey, from Bugaboo Stamps,  first with copics, then sprayed my linen background stamp with alcohol and dabbed the excess off with a paper towel, then I stamped it over the coloured image. 

The card base is baja breeze, with a layer of white embossed with the softly falling embossing folder. The snowballs were made with a 1.25" circle punch and dazzling diamonds glimmer cardstock.

Have a Great Day!

OBG, Sock Monkey!

Hello, it's Oldie But Goodie day at Catch The Bug, and today I'm using My Little Sock Monkey-flowers from Bugaboo Stamps!

I coloured the image with copics, and then used one of my favorite techniques to add texture to him. All I did was lightly spray my Linen background stamp with alcohol and then stamped onto the coloured image. Then I coloured the flowers and added some red stickles.

The card base is crumb cake with a layer of Recollection designer paper. The sentiment is from SU Teen Tiny Wishes.

I also used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch FMS231

Have a Great Day,

Saturday Challenge...Anything Goes!

 Hello, it's the first Saturday of the month...can you believe it's November already!!!...so this weeks challenge at Catch The Bug is Anything Goes! 

For my card today, I used My Little Sock Monkey-front from Bugaboo Stamps. I also used one of my favorite techniques to add the look of texture to the monkey, which you can see better in the photo below. First I coloured him with copics using E44, E43, E42 for the darker parts. E51 & E50 for the cream parts and R27 & R17 for the red. Then I got out my Linen background stamp and sprayed it with rubbing alcohol (I bought it in a spray bottle at the $ store), dab off the extra and stamp. If you try it, just remember to only colour in the parts you want the texture in, or the whole thing will be textured. 

I also used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch FMS211

OBG, Sock Monkey Birthday Wish!

 Hello, it's oldie but goodie day at Catch The Bug, and today I'm showing you a card I made for my Niece's Son for his 1st Birthday! I used Sock Monkey/January/Birthday from Bugaboo Stamps. I coloured him with copics and added some stickles to the confetti dots.

The card base is real red with a layer of white and a layer of designer paper from Bo Bunny Surprise. The stars were made with die-namics dies. The #1 is from a YNS die. The sentiment was made on my computer and cut out with a YNS word bubble die.

I chose the Sock Monkey and his colours to go along with the sweater I knit for Hayden, I hope he likes it! The pattern I used had a band for a collar, which I made longer, but maybe not long enough because it doesn't fold over very well!

Make sure to stop by the Catch The Bug Blog for more inspiration using Oldies But Goodies.

Have a Great Day!
