Cute critters are CUTE, but when I go to make a card, as cute as they are, I tend to bypass them. The Little Monkey is an exception: I would send this card to ANYONE!

• Stamps: Little Monkey
• Color Palette: Basic White, Pecan Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Memento Black
• Accessories: Monkey Punch, Joy of Christmas DSP, Blending Brushes (regular & mini), Masking paper, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Write marker, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I LOVE the leaf pattern in the Joy of Christmas DSP and wish I could get a full pack of just that paper! Do you ever feel that way about one design in a pack? There’s always one paper I love more than the rest.

I colored the leaves with Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce dark blends. I don’t think there’s a law that you have to use dark and light together, and I think it looks more watercolored this way.

The monkeys are colored BEFORE they’re punched out. I masked their faces and used Pecan Pie ink on the Blending Brush like a stipple brush to get more texture. I pulled off the masking paper and lightly brushed their faces with what was left on the Blending Brush, then added a little blush with the Mini Blending Brush and Flirty Flamingo ink.

The inside has a shower of bananas down the side. I made tiny dots with the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write marker because I like my bananas a little more ripe.
