Sherry (Badsherry) is hosting a weekly Twisted Humor challenge Blogs at Splitcoaststampers and I wanted to play. Her challenge is to use the SU Sock Monkey, any sock monkey or even a sock stamp and monkey. Well to my knowlege I only have the monkey in the SU Zoofari set and no sock image. I figured I could draw a sock to use with the monkey for the rules of the challenge. I have to admit I am not really good at coming up with funny or twisted cards but as I thought about it I thought it would be fun to do a spoof on my evergreen, snowy Christmas card scene using the monkey. I stamped the image, sketched socks on all four feet, painted and cut out. I stamped all the evergreen trees from Rubbernecker (www.rubbernecker.com) and painted. I sponged in the sky using a template cut with decorative scalloped scissors. I stamped the falling snow using white craft ink and my favorite image that is really a seeds stamp from SU's retired set Petal Pushers. I painted craft ink on the base of the card and then embossed everything with white ep. I wanted to hang the monkey from the top of the tallest tree but knew I needed something else to pull this strange card together. I thought it would be funny to decorate all the trees with bananas so I sketched out several different bunches of different sizes, painted them all and cut them out to pop up in the scene. For the life of me I cannot think of a sentiment to use with this card. Can you?
