This card was a little bit of an experiment and I am not 100% sure it works but I thought I would blog it anyway. I coloured the Monkey with Promarkers and cut him out with his branch. I then cut a label shape from cloudy K+Co paper and matted it on to a green label layer. The whole thing was mounted with foam pads on to a matted and layered wood effect background. The monkey was then stuck on top. I mounted his body on foam pads and glued the branch straight down to give some depth. The experiment was the leaves which is supposed to look like a tree. I cut lots of different sized Sizzix flowers, inked the edges and then layered them up. I added some paper flowers from John Lewis in the gaps and a little dotty butterfly in the top right. The sentiment is Hero Arts and the gems were from Hobbycraft.I really love this little Monkey, I think he looks really mischievous :-) He is available from Squigglefly along with the rest of Jane's lovely digi stamps.
I hope you had a lovely weekend.

I think it really works Jane. I love how you've layered the leaves and that cute monkey really looks like he's swinging from the branch. Glad to hear you're feeling better too! :)xx

the leaves really work, as does the colour combination! Hope you are well? The Hanna stamp on my card came from bunnyzoescrafts.com & the barbed wire twill from The Artistic Stamper... they also had music, abc & an antique ruler twill so naturally I bought all of them! lol! No, still no prizes here either! Each day I eagerly await the postman and.... nothing! jenny x
