Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!!
What a fabulous Inspiration Challenge Stef! Here is my submision for this super fun IC!!
This is going to be my DH's anniversary card.
The monkeys and the tree were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.
The background was created with tons of 1/2 inch strips of Creamy Caramel, each one sponged, and then layered into a basketweave. Can you tell I was inspired by the straw hat in the inspiration picture!!
Thanks so much for looking!!
Jodi
