Go Bananas

And that is exactly what I did when making this card as I snipped my finger with the scissors... ouch!




This is the first outing for this stamp set from Sugar Pea Designs called Chunky Monkey, I decided to keep the card playful and there was only one way to display this fella... swinging through a tree canopy.

The images have been coloured using Prisma pencils and then fussy cut out.  Next I played around with the position of the branches and also adding a length of string before attaching with 3D foam.




Once the string was in place I hooked the monkeys tail over being careful not to let the foam pads on his back stick to the card, when I was happy I adhered him in place. 

A few highlights were added together with the sentiment.
