Make It Funny: The Monkey and the Hokey Pokey

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi again from Laurie, and welcome to this really great challenge - "Make It Funny".  Who can resist?  So many fun ways to make some funny projects for this challenge.

This little index card starts with some Distress Mica Spray ink splatters and sprays onto a piece of white water color paper.  After drying, I stamped it with the Grunge Black Swirl background stamp from Carmen's Veranda.  I used black ink but the stamped image is very light - I think the mica sprays prevented it from being more pronounced, but I kind of the like the faint shadow effect it has.

Mr. Monkey was stamped using the Monkey Face stamp from Carmen's Veranda and black ink on kraft paper card stock.  I fussy cut him out and accented his eyes with a white marker.  He was edged with Distress Vintage Photo ink and affixed to the bottom of the card with foam tape.  

The Hokey Pokey sentiment was stamped with black ink onto white card stock and cut out.  The corners were rounded and it was also edged with Distress Ink before being attached to the upper left corner as shown.  The entirety was layered with a piece of brown card stock.

Be sure to post your funnies here for a chance to win some free stamps!!
