It's all Monkey Business

Morning all,

Have you all dried out yet? I'm still a little wet around the edges as we had rain again all day yesterday - you wouldn't have believed it was glorious sunshine on sunday for my brothers birthday teaparty when you looked out the windows yesterday. Anyway, enough of my moaning about british weather and on with todays card.

This one is for my best friend, whose birthday is tomorrow. She's monkey mad and I always try and do her a different style of card every year (it's getting difficult!) but this is the creation for 2012!

I saw this idea of a roll framed easel card at the NEC in March and i've been meaning to try it out ever since - so this seemed like the perfect excuse. This cheeky monkey is one of Meljen's fabulous creations and I layered him to give him some depth as there wasn't going to be any major embellishments on the card, he is coloured, as always, with my trust promarkers. Sentiment is one I found free online and the flowers and gems are all from stash.

That's about it. I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz - Summer Time
Allsorts - Ice-cream colours
Passion for promarkers - Layers

Thanks for dropping by and until next time, happy crafting!
