Thanks A Bunch

Hello friends – Suzy here and I’m so happy to be guest blogging for Pretty Pink Posh today. I absolutely LOVED the June release and I went “monkey’s” over the Monkey Friends stamp set. I have a card to share with you today using this set as well as some of the foliage from the Jungle Additions and Jungle Friends stamp sets.

My favorite part of this card is the background. I used some Tonic Shimmer Powder in Catherine Wheel on watercolor paper to get that cool multicolored swirled look. I then used the Medium Polka Dot Stencil with some Texture Paste colored with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I just rubbed some over different parts of the stencil to give the background a messy textured look. I used a frame over the background using the Nature Essentials Dies (and they are essential as I will be using that frame on every card here forward!).

Next, I stamped the monkey and all of the foliage from the Monkey Friends stamp set and the Jungle Additions and Jungle Friends stamp sets. They all 3 work so well together to create cute jungle scenes! I used a light color of ink for a no-line coloring look with colored pencils. I die-cut all of the pieces out and arranged them inside the frame over the background. I added a greeting on one of the Stitched Label 1 Dies and tucked it under the baby monkey.

I hope you enjoyed this card today and thank you so much for visiting! Happy creating to all and stay well friends!

Suzy
