A cute Monkey card using the absolutely phenomenal Safari Friends freebie from issue 145 of Papercraft Essentials!! I LOVE this set so much, and I had soooo much fun making cards for the magazine with it too :D Check out moremags.com to get your copy :D
For my background, I ink blended with some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, then used a few different blue colours of Hero Arts Inks and the Prima Brushstrokes stamp set to build up some texture :D Then to finish the background, I watered down some Nuvo Mousse and flicked that on :D I used the Sue Wilson Bold Snowflake Frame as a background element, then simply stamped, coloured and fussy cut out all my images and sentiments :D And I assembled it all together with a mix of 3D foam and Cosmic Shimmer Glue :D Hope you liked the card :D
