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.

I bought this stamp set on a whim and rarely pull it out, so it's wonderful to see how you've used it. Silly, I know, but it's never occurred to me to repeatedly stamp the vines so they look like a jungle, like you did here. You've ended up with a really cute scene here.

Just darling Sabrina! I love how you did your branches of leaves too, and the darling monkey's, and neat stitching..something I have never done on a card yet.

Bwahaha! That is one mighty *hot* looking blonde bombshell lion Sabrina! Giggle! I love this......Well, the fun thing about never having seen King Kong is that you can make up your own story in your head.....if the blonde is a lion, then so be it! Giggle! This card is precious....just rocks. I know the critters are serious jungle animals but they look a little cuddly! Ha! Very fun! You always do just the right card!
Sorry I am so late to greet you! Can't believe you guys didn't rescue me stuck under Kong's big toe! Who hid the cookies there anyway????
