Cheeky Monkeys!

I just love the expressions on the faces of these cheeky monkeys...especially the one sticking his tongue out! lol
I've combined lots of challenges on this card: the fab sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches; the 'Dots' theme of Stamp with Fun; the Secret Crafter Challenge to use 'Jungle Animals'; and the Cuttlebug Spot challenge to make something 'Masculine'. I've kept the colour scheme really simple, using two shades of blue card embossed with the 'Swiss Dots' and 'Spots & Dots' Cuttlebug folders for the layers behind the image ('Birthday Monkeys' by Rachelle Anne Miller for Stampavie), and the Nestie stars.

    Such a pretty card entry you had for the sugar bowl, Helen! I love the colors and the papers! I had fun playing the Sugar bowl as well.

    I think you should definitely give it a try at Midnight Madness Sketch, your cards have beautiful color, and not to mention up to $500 prize they are giving, each week's entry is one more chance at the pot.
