Friendly monkey

Tuesday, August 3, 2021

Hi friends! I'm back with another card using mostly dies. Isn't this monkey the cutest??

This adorable monkey is from Mama Elephant's Favor Bag Accessory (aka FBA). I created this card around the Leafy cover die. I just knew it would go well with the monkey FBA. I cut the cover die twice from dark green cardstock and stacked them together to make it more sturdy.
For the monkey, I used the dies to cut from colored cardstock. To add dimension I blended tea dye along the edges of her face and spun sugar on the inner part of her ears and cheeks. To assemble I used liquid glue and some washi tape on the back to keep the head and face together. I added a flower on her head to make her even more adorable. For interest I used a white gel pen to add highlights on her nose, flower and hands. I also place Nuvo crystal drops on the center of the flower and glossy accents on her eyes.
For the inked panel I used picked raspberry, abandoned coral and squeezed lemonade distress oxide inks. I adhered the leafy cover die on top of the inked panel using liquid glue. I placed double sided foam tape on the head of the monkey and also her hands to give it some dimension. Finally I stamped a small sentiment on a thought bubble. 

I love how this turned out. If you don't like to color then die cutting is a great option, with the perfect elements die cuts can make a great impact on any projects. 

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
