Stampin' Saturday!! I made this Card on Saturday while haning out with one of my best pals.. Pat!! We had fun! I am no where as skilled as Pat and so this card was a little frustrating to say the
least. The BG is done with clear embossing powder. The image of the nanners and vines are from SU monkey business. TFL!!

Frustrating you say? You didn't even cry!
Sister, this card is gorgeous, and I think your idea of doing Monkey Biz in CE for the bg is genius! It really does stand out. Love your watercoloring too, and yes- the clouds are great! You don't even look like a 'newbie' anymore! Beautiful! LYMI

I really like the embossed background. I think it really makes it pop. Love these little guys. They are up to some monkey business I can see that. Great coloring. The clouds are the best part. Really adds great dimension. Nice job Julie. TFS

Wow, this is awesome. Love your coloring and you have mastered those clouds. I like the embossed background and the punch tab on the side with the brads.
