Today I want to show you a card that I made for my cousin's girlfriend. He came to my house in the last minute asking me advice for a present for his girlfriend ( why men always leave everything for the last minute ???). Ok, anyways, I provided him with a card made with this beautiful Sara Kay Stamp in which I used a color combination unusual for me but that I ended up loving it!

My First Post for Silly Monkey Crafts..

Hi Everyone,

I am finally able to show my first card for the Silly Monkey Blog . I'm using some of the wonderful goodies that Bryony sent to me. (All the highlighted materials are from the shop)

I can't stop using this beautiful Ellie elephant from High Hopes. ( I think is my favorite stamps from HH) For me it's so versatile. I can use it as a Birthday card or a baby card or as I am using it today... .a Christmas card. Only thing missing is a Santa hat but I can't find my stamp and do not have any die for that, sorry. I added crystal effect to the whole image to incorporate a little bit of dimension, even though at the time I took the picture it was not dry yet.





Materials:

• Image: High Hopes Stamps. (Ooops Ellie)
• Coloring: Distress Ink and blend with the aquash watercolor pen.
• Paper: Basic Grey ( Dasher Collection Pack) and Bazzilll cardstock.
• Others: Martha Stewart Punch for the twigs, prima flowers, gems, drew drops , brads and bells from stash.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!!

Hugs,

Lim :)

I can't believe it ...I did it!!!

Oh wow... I'm still jumping on my chair and dancing around the house!!! I can't believe I was picked to be part of the Silly Monkey DT. WOW!!! And the good part is that Bryony decided to take not just one, but two people... she was so generous granting this great opportunity to Fran and myself too. Congratulations Fran!!!

I can't wait to work with Bryony, Nikki, Marlene and Fran. It is so exciting!!!
All of them are very talented and have amazing creations, so for me is a real honor to be part of this team. Thank you!!!

I know Bryony had a tough decision because all the finalist were incredible talented and had gorgeous cards and projects.
