Life has just got a bit mad here, I'll comment as and when I can. I've never seen King Kong (I know, shocking, but I grew up without TV), so I did my best by bringing lots of foliage and some monkeys. Oh - and a blonde, but it's a lion and he's a he, so I should be OK.
Computer generated sentiment (font is Jungle Leaves for some more foliage points!), stamped over with Linen, edges sponged, brad added and then popped up on foam.
A2 cream base. Sandy foreground stamped with Scattered Straw and a stamp from Shore Thing. Long vines and animals are all from Autumn Leaves - vine stamped with Versafine Olympia Green. Then I stamped the vine from Vintage Vogue in Crushed Olive. Background then stamped with Linen in Antique Linen, and stitched round the edges.
Animals stamped on white card and coloured with watercolour pencils. The lion wasn't in my original plan, but since I didn't have a set of bongos or tom-toms to put in the corner and I needed something, Leo stepped in.

Sabrina, I especially love your swinging vines and leaves...you did an amazing job of making it look like a true jungle canopy!
And, "Fay Wray" never looked so good! LOL...the original blonde from 1933. Although there may have been a Kong movie even earlier than that one! Love your "blondie" lion. You've created a really fun, happening kind of card. Congratulations!
Your jungle decor is absolutely fabulous (I LOVE the stitched border) and the animals are super cute!! Perfect card for the challenge this week, guaranteed to bring a smile~

Sabrina, this is a wonderful card! I love how you did the stitching and your great design! You definitely come in the front door this week, and probably get extra cookies, because of the blond!! LOL

Sabrina, what a darling well put together scene here. Love those vines and of course your darling swinging monkeys. Your "blonde" lion is a hoot. Hope he is the friendly kind. Dang, I never thought about bongo drums! That would have been pretty cool too. Love this! TFS :0)

Sabrina,
I love the vines and leaves - it's a perfect scene and your little animals, including Leo, are wonderful - and the sentiment - Swing Time - is so perfect!
