Pretty Cute Stamps August Blog Hop

Hi, welcome to the PRETTY CUTE STAMPS AUGUST BLOG HOP!!



The PCS design team is sharing awesome projects featuring the adorable August digital images.
All the release images have a birthday theme.

If you came here from Shannon's  blog, you are in the right place. If you just stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit the PCS blog at http://prettycutestampsblog.blogspot.nl/

I have made two cards featuring the Birthday Monkey  set.


My first card I made digitally in photoshop.


First I colored the monkey stamp in photoshop and saved it on my computer (as png file).
The jungle background is pre made and a free download from vector jungle.com.
I placed the monkey and the sentiment in the free jungle vector using photoshop again.
If the sentiment is changed this could also be a cute invitation card for a child's birthday party.

I did make a second card with this funny chimp and this time I colored the image by hand using my spectrum noir markers.


First I printed the image pretty large on white cardstock and colored it in.  
TIP: By tracing around the image with grey or blue you can make the image pop out more.
I also printed and colored a banana and placed it in he chimps hand. 
Then I printed the sentiment on the cardstock.
I glued the white panel on yellow cardstock and these on a brown card.

Two totally different cards with one cute image.
