Monkey Swinging By to Say.....Happy Birthday!

Monkey Swinging By to Say.....Happy Birthday!

Made this card for my cousin-in-law whose birthday is in early August. She lives in Singapore which is neighbor to Malaysia. I have a strange idea that it is very easy to go to Singapore like just swing over to there. Thus, I have this card made with the funny sentiment!

Repeat Impressions - WHAT IF? Wednesday - Sketch Challenge J1013

I adopt the sketch from Repeat Impressions - WHAT IF? Wednesday - Sketch Challenge J1013 as shown above. The three (3) panels are perfect for the monkey swinging scene!

Close-up : The swinging scene!

Three (3) white panels are trimmed accordingly and stamped with the monkey whereby two (2) of the panels only reveal partial of the monkey and the final panel reveal the whole monkey - making the swinging scene! The monkey in the panels are colored using Copic markers. Some branches with leaves are added to the panels to make the swinging scene. The edges of the panels are then distressed with distress ink so that it look more like jungle. The panels are attached onto a pink card base as per sketch.

Close-up : Sentiment

The sentiment is stamped on a white scallop oval. A banana is added beside the sentiment using pop dots to create some dimension. The scallop oval is then attached onto the panels as in sketch.
