Today's IC challenge was to be inspired by Espe.. I chose a small wallet called Orange Peek..It has a monkey peeking through the leavs.. I drew my inspiration from here: http://www.espe.ca/product/products_wallets.html
I chose the Valentines Funny Sock It Monkey image from Whimsie Doodles.. Colored with Copics and prismas. Cut it out and added some leaves. Remember when these buckle cards were popular.. I made one into a wallet and used Yvonne Hagane's tutorial for her beautiful wallet. I used my embossing folder then sponged and embossed the outside with clear embossing powder
Thanks for another great inspiration today. Thanks Quillister and Steph..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUTNIK...

Dawn, how did I miss this adorable creation?? The textured cardstok really does look like leather and the sock monkey has never looked cuter! Great job!
We're still getting snow here...and it is dang cold. (Which is way colder than just plain cold)!
