Funky Sock Monkey



Morning everyone!  It's Tuesday and that means a new release at Doodle Pantry.  Lots of new goodies are in the shop.  Plus all the new releases are marked down 25% for today only, February 17.

For today's release, I made a sample using the new set, Funky Sock Monkey.  This darling set was created to help support Operation Write Home.  One dollar of every sale of this product will be donated to this worthy cause.

For the card above, I combined one of the pre-colored monkeys and papers from Funky Sock Monkey with a cropped balloon and sentiment from one of my older favorites, Winter Birthday.  After cropping the balloon, I added paper-piecing. Then I merged the balloon and monkey images together.  The balloon embellishment was made with dies from Lil' Inker Designs.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope everyone dealing with the snow and frigid temps stay safe and warm.
