Here's the card I made for my nephew's first birthday. I wanted to make the monkey hold the #1 so I used an exacto knife to cute around his hand and a little way up the arm... then slipped the #1 underneath. The leaves were made by cutting them out of the designer paper (same paper as I used for the background). I then sponged a little Wasabi and Chocolate Chip around their edges. Next I pressed them against the versamark pad, dipped them in clear embossing powder, and heat embossed. One of them is attached flat, while the other two are attached with dimensionals. I also wanted to give the monkey a little more dimesion so I stamped an extra monkey, cut out just the head and attached it, with a dimensional, on top of the monkey on the card.
