ABC Christmas Challenge - Z is for...

We've reached the end of the alphabet, so it's time for the last ABC Christmas Challenge of the year...Samantha is the host, and the theme is:

'Z is for Zoo Animals'

Our sponsor for this challenge is Bunny Zoe's Crafts:
Prize - A £10 Gift Certificate!

I went with a monkey for my 'zoo animal' and used 'Monkey See, Monkey Do' by Penny Black, which I coloured using watercolour pencils. The patterned paper is from the 'Countdown to Christmas' pad by My Mind's Eye...and I edged it using some strips of red and blue card (shhh...don't tell anyone, but they're just little snippets of card, and don't go right underneath the paper, just along the edges!). I added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen, and some BasicGrey brads.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

    Brilliant Helen! What a cheeky chappie - and I'm hoping to add one of his Penny Black Christmas monkey friends into the prize pot over in the Playground shortly!
