Two very dear friends of ours recently sent us a sweet 'grandparents' gift. Yes, my husband and I are finally GRANDPARENTS! Our identical twin grandsons arrived two months early so it's been a tenuous five weeks but I am happy to say that they are doing very well and may even go home soon. I designed this card to convey the cuteness of my grandsons...hopefully they won't be double-trouble monkeys! To make the 'thank you' stand out, I die cut it from pink shimmer paper (DCVW available from HM Ben Franklin Crafts) but it was too light colored so I enhanced the pink with a Copic pen....yes, the shimmer still remains even after coloring. The blue plaid card stock cut with the Lawn Fawn scallop square is supposed to represent a baby blanket. To make the monkeys seem furry I stamped the image on watercolor paper and colored it in with Copic markers. Because watercolor paper is very absorbent the ink bleeds making the edges fuzzy. A final touch was the addition of Amy Tangerine blue epoxy hearts. This was a very simple card but I hope it conveys my sincere thanks to our very thoughtful friends.
