When prbloom challenged for blue or green animals, the only thing I could think of was those blue flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz.
The wings are from a dove stamp in a clear stamp set from www.cdstamps.com called "Peace". Stamped those in brocade blue and cut out just the wings. I stuck just the top of those on dimensionals and glued the lower part to his back.
I had to hand draw/color in his vest and hat from which I looked up on the internet to find out what they looked like from a neat Wizard of Oz site. Cut them out and glued on top of the image.
I couldn't find any background cardstock or paper to suit my interest, so I decided to use my black marker fine tip and draw a design to match his outfit. Colored in with SU markers.
Thanks for looking!

This is so AWESOME. I love seeing hand-done elements in cards; it's so incredibly inspiring. And this monkey isn't nearly as frightening as the ones in The Wizard of Oz!
