SMILE It's Your Birthday

I'm a sucker for fun images and this cheeky monkey from Your Next Stamp was a must have purchase...




How much fun is he?

Coloured using Prisma pencils and the usual white highlights, die cut with the matching die. 

Now I'm not one for wasting money so instead of purchasing ready made wobblers I made my own from two strips of white copier paper, I haven't made these since little school but somethings are worth remembering :)




The 'Smile' is from the stamp/die set and the stamped sentiment is from a Uniko set.  The brick background is a left over piece I made sometime ago with texture paste.  This fella will be swinging and smiling his way to my FIL later this month.

  3. I too have an often wicked sense of humor, but this funny monkey just makes me smile :) Love that you have figured out a way to create a wobble card too which just adds to the fun. That bricked snippet makes a perfect background for the frame too. Your FIL is going to grin from ear to ear when he gets this fabulous and fun card! Love it! :)
