Cute little Tulip Monkey

Hi Everybody!!

Yes, back again :). Today I have a card to show you that I think is really cute. This cutie was released by All That Scraps last year and his name is Tulip Monkey (also available as as a digi). I adore this little fellow.
Now this picture doesn't look that sharp small but when you click on it you'll get the larger view and I think that looks much better. I think this was my first time coloring tulips so I googled pictures of tulips and decided to color them pink with white tips. The absolutely stunning papers are digi ones by Michele R Designs for Whimsy Stamps and this line is called Grunge Cottage Charms. One at a time I inserted the papers that come as .jpg files into Word, in the settings I put the paper size on 6 x 6 inch, I put the margins as low as possible (I just set them to zero and then agree to the fix that Word comes up with because it won't take zero) and print them in a normal quality to white bazzill cardstock that I have cut into 6x6 inch squares. The flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts. The leaves are a McGill punch. The oval shapes are all nestabilitie dies. The heart border is by Whiff of Joy and the corner is by Whimsy Stamps. I have handstitched the papers using a light pink shiny thread, distressing has been done with Frayed Burlap distress ink and I have used some Diamond Stickles as well.
A close up of the cute little Tulip Monkey. As always colored with Copic Markers and 3D paper pieced. Behind him you'll see a little piece of a grass that I did with a border punch by Fiskars. The white accents are always done with my white gelpen from the Dutch Hema store and I used a few white liquid pearl dots as accents as well.
And finally the little pieces :).

Be back soon!!
Hugs,
