Monkey Hugs & Lots of Love

Hi peeps! How’ it going? Vera here today to bring you fun project featuring cutie pie from SugarPea Designs.

You know what I love about the card making community? How we can find inspiration from each other. There are so many card makers that I love, whose works continuously inspire me to create. Now, my card today is totally inspired by the one & only Jennifer McGuire’s post HERE. Using her card as inspiration, I created this card.

When I saw her slider card, I immediately want to try it. She’s brilliant, isn’t she?

Now, for my card I used the Lovely Leaves set to create the background. I simply stamped  several of the images from the set repeatedly with various soft color ink pads. As usual, I can’t resist soft colors. I like soft color backgrounds as it allows the main image to shine.

Anyway, once I am done with the background, I put it aside and work on the center image. I die cut the banner using my favorite die set, Stitched Flag.

If you notice, the leaves on the bottom of the flag have a continuous look with the background one. To do this, I simply place a piece of acetate and then layered the banner on top of it and carefully stamped the leaves so it matched the ones on the background. I just thought it created a fun and more streamlined look.

Then stamped the rest of the leaves, the monkey and sentiment from Chunky Monkey set. I colored the monkeys and the branch with Copic Markers.

For the actual step by step for the slider part, I’d recommend watching Jennifer’s video HERE (it’s better than I can try to explain in writing, hah!!).

Underneath the slider part, I thought I should add another cutie. After all double cuteness is always a good thing, right?

I love the way this card turned out. Fun, interactive card always make me smile. Now, where do you find your inspiration? Which creative people inspire you?

Well peeps, that’s all from me today. Hope you enjoy today’s card and thanks so much for swinging by here. Happy Thursday!
