Monkey Message Board

 Howdy - MichelleO here today and this week I had a little fun with a Monkey for High Hopes Stamps. This is Monkey Message Board and he is too fun for many different cards. 

He is so cute isn't he? Love his round little cheeks. I colored with my Copics (colors below). While digging in my stash of papers I found a piece of scrap paper of jungle leaves. Thought that was just too perfect for this little monkey. I sewed down the layers on a kraft brown card stock. I then added a couple of EK Success leaf punches for the corners. 

For the sentiment I added High Hopes Stamps "Hang in there!" Great sentiment to shout out a little support for someone and the monkey adds a little smile!

Fun little card for anyone. For more great images to share smiles, visit the High Hopes Stamps web site store HERE and fall in love with so so much! 

Monkey Message Board

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Saturday Friends!  Here's a birthday card for that special guy in your life...

 Lisa 

 

This is Monkey Message Board (R141) and part of Swinging Birthday sentiment (H191).  Such a cute monkey!!!  Different sentiments could be stamped on the board, depending on what type of card you are making.

 

I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I applied some Zig-Wink of Stella clear glitter on the leaves.  I love the bit of sparkle that this gives to the card.

 

The pattern papers are from Carta Bella - Work Hard 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some SU Kraft and White cardstock.  The image was cut down to a smaller size to better fit this card.  SU Chocolate Chip Ink Pad was used along with a sponge dauber to ink the edges of the image.  The sentiment was stamped with a Versamark Ink Pad and Black Embossing Powder was applied then heated.  Foam tape was applied under the main image to give this card some dimension. To complete this card, a bunch of YNS Gumdrops - Love Me Some Latte were added.  I hope you like today's card!  

Supplies Used:

Ink - Tombow Markers - 969, 977, 990, N79, 761 and 126.  Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder, and SU Chocolate Chip Ink Pad for sponging.
 

Paper - Carta Bella-Work Hard 6x6 Paper Pad; SU Kraft and White Cardstock.
 

Misc - Glossy Accents, YNS-Love Me Some Latte Gumdrops, Zig-Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen, Sponge Dauber, Water Brush, Foam Tape and Glue Dots.
