JUST SWINGIN' BY TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY (2)

For this quick and easy birthday card, I used the Thanks a Bunch Monkey stamp set from Hero Arts.

I took a Cilantro cardbase and ink blended the top with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink. I stamped the sentiment as well.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Monkey: E53 - E55 - E57/ E00 - E11 - E04
Plant: G43 - G46/ R32 - R35/ Y15 - Y17
Bananas: Y15 - Y17

I fussy cut the images and added them to my cardbase. I added some highlights to the monkey, with a white gelly roll pen.

I rounded off the bottom right corner.

Clean and simple, sometimes that's all a card needs.

JUST SWINGIN' BY TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY (1)

For this birthday card, I kept the scene failry simple. Because I have to do a lot of coloring. I used the Thanks a Bunch Monkeys stamp set from Hero Arts.

For the sky, I used Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. For the grass, I used the Grassy Hillside Borders. I die cut one of the borders from Cilantro cardstock and ink blended it with Lucky Clover Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment onto the grassy border.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Monkeys: E55 - E57/ E00 - E11
Vines: E71 - E74 - E79/ YG13 - YG07/ G07 - YG07
Flowers: R17 - R46/ RV10 - R83/ BG15 - BG18
Bananas: Y15 - Y26 - YR23

I fussy cut all the images and adhered them to my background. I assembled the card and added the panel onto a Ballet Slippers cardbase.

Although the layout is very simple, it was pretty time consuming since there was so much coloring.
