Monkey Friends with Pretty Pink Posh

Hi friends! Today, I'm over on the Pretty Pink Posh blog with another fun card from the brand new release. My card today features Monkey Friends and a few elements from Jungle Friends.

To begin, I cut a piece of cardstock to 3 1/4 X 8 1/4", and ink blended the background with Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint, and Forest Moss Distress Oxide inks. I added water splatters and some Forest Moss ink (thinned with water) to my inked background to add some interest.

I stamped the darling monkeys from Monkey Friends and the vines and leaves from Jungle Friends, colored with Copic markers, and cut out with the Monkey Friends Coordinating Dies and Jungle Friends Coordinating Dies.

Copic colors used:

Monkey: E37, E35, E33, E31, E30, E53, E51, E50, R30

Vines/Leaves: YG17, YG25, YG03, YG01

Bananas: Y15, Y11, Y00, E44, E43

Next, I added the vines and leaves to the inked background and attached the monkeys using foam tape for dimension. I then attached my card front to a 3 1/2 X 8 1/2" white card base. The sentiment, from the Hedgehog Friends Stamp Set, was stamped onto a black cardstock strip and embossed with white embossing powder.

To complete my card, I added some Lemon Drop Jewels...they add the perfect amount of sparkle and interest to any project!

Thanks so much for joining me today!!

Then, I cut a sandy hill using the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies. I attached the sand to the ocean waves patterned paper background and adhered the window panel over the background with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the adorable images from Sealiously Sweet  and Tropical Scenes (palm trees) with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored with Copic markers, and cut out with the Sealiously Sweet Dies and Tropical Scenes Dies.

I added some water splatters and watered down Peacock Feathers ink with a fine paintbrush to add some interest. Using the Stitched Scallop Dies, I cut 2 white borders, attached them behind my inked panel on the top and bottom, and attached it to the center of the polka dot paper.

Next, I stamped the images from Summer Sweets using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored with Copic markers, and cut out with the coordinating Summer Sweets Dies.

I absolutely love this little set; its the perfect addition to complete your ocean or underwater themed cards!

To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock to 3 1/4 X 8 1/4", and ink blended it with Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered some water onto my background and blotted it up, then I added some watered down Peacock Feathers ink onto my background with a paintbrush. Once dry, I attached my panel to a 3 1/2 X 8 1/2" white card base.

Next, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut out the images with the following sets:

Sea You Soon (shark on top, octopus, small fish)/ Coordinating Dies
