Good morning, and happy Thursday, Crafty Friends!
Today, I am sharing a card inspired by an Instagram Hop that I participate in every week on Thursday. It's called April Showers Bring...Hop! There are two optional themes from which we can choose and create a card. This week, the choice was between a library and a pet. For me, it was a no-brainer! If you have an Instagram account and are interested in joining our fun group, please find my card on Instagram, where there are further details on how to participate.
My card features a digital image of Daisy Monkey, Amanda Jayne Designs. Amanda has an adorable Etsy shop with the cutest animal images. If you like my card, I highly recommend visiting her shop.
I simply printed the image and colored the image with Copic markers. I added more detail to the image with Prismacolor pencils. My image and patterned papers were cut with My Favorite Things Inside & Out Stitched Arch STAX Die-namics. I also used Grassy Border Dies by Lawn Fawn to cut grass for the bottom of the arched panel. I then decided to add some texture to the background, so I took a panel and dry embossed it with the Park Lane Vines Embossing Folder. This was the perfect setting for my monkey.
