My card is for Tuesday's Teapotter Tickle. Lisa's (shoegirl) challenge was based on a neat story that her Grandfather told in re to a monkey teapot. I made my card light-hearted, fun and whimsical with die cuts and paper piecing. I used the basic Tuesday Color Challenge colors, which called for green, blue and purple. I did add a yellow banana and I also used several neutrals. Dessert was to use one of your favorite embellishments. I used twine as a "vine" for the monkey to hang from.
THANKS for looking!

This is SO cute!!! Those monkeys are adorable. I love that you have one hanging from your embellishment - the twine. I also think it is so cute that the little guy is holding a banana. Great job that I'm sure will make the recipient smile. :>)

How cute are those monkeys! I love the jungle setting you created and most of all I love the watercoloured background. Any Teapotter would be thrilled to receive this fun card my friend.
