I made a few sympathy cards this week.
For the Pooh bear cards I used my friend Nancy's stamp and filled it in with water color pencils. I love those things! It's so hard to water color in the lines but when I use these pencils I get it right every time.
I liked using the water color pencils so much I used them on my "Hang in there" monkey cards (below) to get the same affect. I knew I wanted a little monkey on these cards but I couldn't find a stamp so I drew the monkey, scanned it in, and printed it out. It gave the same affect as a stamp and was FREE!
Click HERE to get a free template for this monkey "Hang in there" card. Just print it out and cut it to size. (I printed mine on yellow paper and cut it to be 3 7/8" by 5 1/8") Then color it in with watercolor pencil, and paint with water over the top.
I was originally going to add tiny googly eyes but couldn't find the package I bought a few weeks ago so I drew mine in instead. The template doesn't have eyes so you can choose your placement depending on what you use.
