Hi everyone! It’s time for my JiFFy friends and I to get together once again! Joining us this month is Glenda Wyatt. (Thanks for playing with us, Glenda!)
As a quick refresher on how our challenge works, one of us chooses the patterned paper, then mails to all. Once the paper is on it’s way, another of us reveals the image she has chosen. Lots of fun…and SOMETIMES a bit of a challenge.
This month Alli chose “Brrr” from Fancy Pants’ Tradition collection. And Kim chose Monkey Gone Bananas by Your Next Stamp. I will admit I was nervous once I saw what we were working with. Snowflakes and a monkey? Yikes! BUT…in the end, I really like how my card turned out.
Heartfelt Holiday Wishes
Luckily, Kim sent some extra images of the leaves so I was able to create a branch of sorts. I decorated with buttons and hung the little monkey from the string, adhering him to the paper using foam boosters.
Once everything was assembled, I decided to add bit more interest by adding dots of shiny black gel pen over the monkey’s eyes and nose.
Be sure to check out the other girls’ blogs to see what they’ve done with the same paper and image!
Thanks SO much for stopping by! Have a great day!
