This was so much fun to create. I used the Stargazer paper and the Gorgeous Garden die to create the green leaves on the front. I carefully adhered it to basic white cs. I stamped each of the 3 monkeys once and the one on the 'rope twice.
I used pecan pie blends on teo of the moneys and copper clay on one. I also colored the extra one. Cut the extra one out and turn it over so it will cover the back side. As it swings, you want see a complete monkey. After they are adheared, the back side will be blank, color that side and make a fine line to trace where the neck would be.
Stamp and cut bananas. Color with dark daffodil and lt so saffron markers. Adhere to monkeys.
Die cut the tree branches. I curved the top one up a little to make them different. I colored with both granny apple green markers and a darker brown blend. I tied the twine around the branch. Adhere the branches and then place the monkeys.
Stamp the greeting. I opted to leave off the HI, and just put ... This gives you more flexibility with your inside greeting. Die cut with the decked die.
Place on 5.5"x4.25" folded cs. You could use copper clay or pecan pie cs.
On the interior I added lemon lime twist die cut with the stitched greenery die. Topped with basic white and greeting. Of course I had to stamp another monkey on the inside and color it. Added banana for fun.
Monkeys, bananas and tree branches were fussy cut.
Thanks for looking. If you like my design, please leave a comment.
