Hello! Today I am sharing a “just because” card combining monkey-themed supplies.
- I die-cut the Elizabeth Crafts monkey from Bazzill Chocolate Malt (face) and SU Chocolate Chip (body) and assembled him with glue. I tried a number of combinations for the face and body. If I were to die-cut the monkey again, I would consider cutting him from inked cardstock.
- I used a circle punch to cut the mouth. I used a hexagon punch to cut the nose.
- I stamped the Monkey Business sentiment and cut the white cardstock with a circle die.
- I cut another circle in the same yellow as the banana for a mat.
- I dry-embossed the card background with the Tropical Leaves stencil. Initially I tried an inked background (with the stencil) in green, but the orange worked much better with the colors used for the monkey.
- I added the monkey and banana with foam adhesive.
Supplies:
Fabulous embossing folder for just the right subtle texture behind your adorable monkey!
This is just ADORABLE!!! You have sold me on the monkey. I was on the fence but now am buying it. I always call my daughter monkey and will be making some cards to send her with it for college. LOVE the orange background with the fabulous stencil. GREAT design!!
This is so cute! Love the monkey, & the background is perfect!!!
The monkey is adorable. You come up with the tiniest pieces to complete the entire look. I love monkeys, reminds me of my brother! Great card.
