Congrats to Vicki, the newest Featured Stamper! After much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept the colors & most of the layout, but I used different images, changed the left vertical panel to a palm tree & moved the greeting to the right side.
I stamped, colored, over stamped & die cut 2 monkeys & also die cut a couple of plain faces & feet to stack under these areas to give him some dimension. The layers & frames were all die cut & attached to the card front. Some bananas were also colored & die cut along w/ the greeting tag.
I knew I wanted a palm tree, so I set about making one w/ die cut & sponged pine cones, stacked on top of each other for the trunk & some lacy fronds for the palm leaves.
Congrats again, Vicki! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, Copic colors & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff
