Monkey Thanks for Your Purchase

Monkey Thanks for Your Purchase

Made this card for another of my first time Copic markers buyers who uses Copic markers in her arts. From her blog, I know that she wants to be a successful zoologist. Well, that make me wonder why she is into art.....but I remind myself not to judge the book by its cover as you never know what talents do a person hold. Thus, maybe she is well talented in art as well.....

Addicted to CAS - Challenge #52 - Sketch

I adopt the simple sketch from Addicted to CAS - Challenge #52 - Sketch as shown above.

Close-up: Coconut tree with a monkey

I choose a coconut tree with a monkey image as my buyer ambition is to be a successful zoologist. I try to link something that is related to her so that she feel more personal when receiving the card. The image is stamped onto a white card stock and colored using Copic marker. Then, the sky and grassland is created using distress ink. Three (3) orange brads are attached onto the left side of the card as in sketch. It is then attached onto a red card base which already lined with colorful polka dots washi tape using pop dots.

Close-up: Speech bubble with sentiment

The sentiment is stamped onto a speech bubble and trimmed accordingly. It is attached above the monkey as if the monkey speaking it using partial pop dots and glue. The sentiment arrangement on the sketch make it perfect for such creation! Lastly, three (3) orange gems are added to the bottom of the sentiment.

Dimension : 10.16cm x 15.24cm or 4" x 6"
