Congrats Monkeys
One of my cousins recently gave birth to twins. During the pregnancy, she and her hubby kept referring to them as their "Two Little Monkeys." That is the inspiration for this card. She had twin boys, so a baby blue background was chosen.
BoBunny Double-Dot paper as the card base. Hero Arts S5215 Clouds for the background. Hero Arts CL155 Playful Animals for the palm leaves and monkeys, which are HARD to cut out! Tree trunks made from S5208 Designer Woodgrain. "Congrats" sentiment from Hero Arts CL371 Essential Messages. All stamps from Hero Arts 2010 catalog; CL155 Playful Animals are shown on page 17.
The monkeys are hanging from a "vine" strung between the two palms. I made the "vine" from embroidery floss and dyed it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
Clouds background was cut and embossed using Spellbinders Nestabilities Curved Rectangles in my Cuttlebug. I accented the edge using a silver paint pen. Googly eyes and black gemstone noses added for fun and silliness. Clouds matte, palm trees, and monkeys raised on foam tape for dimension. Monkeys attached to the "vine" with Glossy Accents.
Thanks for looking! :-)
