Elmo and cookie monster

The cards I have to share with you today were quite fun to make...

 

There are endless ideas for Sesame Street characters all over the web and most of them can be created using the Scallop Circle punch.

 

I've created Elmo/Cookie Monster using the Scallop Circle punch from Real Red and Pacific Point card stock and then the features were punched using the Owl punch (the mouth is the base of the owl).

 

Hopefully you can see that the square panel is embossed using the Square Lattice embossing folder and raised up with dimensionals over the strip punched with the Scallop Trim Border punch, from Calypso Coral card (above) and Crumbcake card (below).

 

 

The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set, inked in co-ordinating Real Red and Pacific Point ink on each card respectively, then punch out with the 1 3/8 Circle punch with a co-ordinating circle behind to create a 'shadow' effect. 

 

Just 3 more days until the weekend and I can go home :(...
