Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme. This month the theme is Summer Fun! I had an idea pop into my head almost immediately!
LITTLE MONKEY
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Lemon Lolly cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded!
- The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Azure Afternoon was stamped with the wave Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Azure Afternoon Ink and added to the front.
- The monkey was punched from Pecan Pie cardstock and his face from Crumb Cake cardstock using the Little Monkey Punch. The ears were colored with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.
- The leaf from Little Monkey was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Berry Bliss and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. It was hand-cut and added to the wave with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The monkey was added on top of the “surfboard” with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Berry Bliss Ink. The label and clouds were cut with the Waves Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some blue Sheer Ribbon Combo was tied in a bow on the label and the other side cut off.
- A trio of white Sparkle Gems were added to the waves.
