So as far as the card goes I thought it would be neat to try and make this card not knowing if I would like it in the end, and I gotta say...I don't hate it. I'm not in love with it, but it's bright and i love bright. I Also discovered while making this card that embossing the image in black makes the coloring process a heck of a lot easier. I used SU markers on the image and the embossing stops any bleeding that may occur. Not that bleeding occurs all that often, but this gives the peace of mind that i want when coloring in an image. So For the near future i may be doing that quite a bit.

LOVE this! Great colors (I like bright, too!) and those monkeys are just too cute! Love how you cut around the image and cut the layering to match! Nice job!

Really fun card! I like what you did with the "frame" on the card and the yellow circle behind the image really makes the leaves pop. Good job!

What a cute, fun card. Love those monkeys. I really like the colors and layout. I like the way you cut out the palm leaves and the yellow circle behind the image.

I definitely agree with the embossing/coloring thing! Definitely easier to color an embossed image! Love how you cut out the images and layered them....super cute card!!!
