MONKEYS!

Hey there, sooo, you might remember this card that I made for my brother-in-law when he was half way through his cancer treatment...well, I decided to recreate it with some MFT dies (um, yeah...so much easier!).  While I was at it, I went ahead and made a couple other cards to go with it!  These Whipper Snapper Designs monkeys are A-DORABLE...just saying!  You know what that means...they fit into the Cute Critter CAS challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Whoop!

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers.  The fingers holding the branch were stamped a second time, colored, fussy cut then popped up on foam.  A couple die cut leaves were colored then shaped and glued over the branch for dimension.

This little guy was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers then cut out using the out-of-the-box with a die technique.  The sentiment was computer generated.

This last one was pretty straight forward.  The only thing I did was mask the second tail that was over his head.  I didn't want it there, so I used blue painter's tape and took it off.  I had a lot of fun working with all of these monkeys!
