Simon Monkey’s Around

I was so excited to get my latest bundle of ‘luv’ from Heidi at Simon Says Stamp. She set me up with the Whiff of Joy and Magnolia cuties I posted yesterday and this adorable set, Cool Monkey and Baby Love, exclusive to her store.

I can’t wait to play with it some more since I only used one image on my card. I thought Cool Monkey (with lips – you can customize the expression with the different mouth options in the set) would be cute with the sentiment from My Favorite Things. Since buttons were the challenge at Wacky Wednesday, I used them to create the ‘scallop edge’ from the sketch. If you have time, join in Sketch 4 You Try’s challenge and you could win $100 in Just Rite products.

I added Diamond Glaze to her eyes and lips for some dimension.
