Monkey Friends - Hang In There!

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! I love to make cards and am always looking for a new challenge to play. I like to see all the latest challenges listed at Paper Playful! I found a new one called "As You Like It Challenge" and this time they are asking "Do you prefer Jungle or Farm themes? and why?"
Well as you can see, I'm going for JUNGLE most definitely! Why? Because I love being silly and while farm animals can be silly too, monkey see, monkey do is a whole different level of silliness! 
This card starts with a distress ink background topped with a frame from the Nature Essentials die set. This die is unique because it includes a frame and some borders for creating easy scenes. I stamped a sentiment from the set inside the frame and then inked some Stitched Leafy Borders with distress ink and snipped them to fit inside the die cut frame. 
Copic colored monkeys with bananas are hanging from the branches. I adhered them with adhesive foam tape to add some dimension to the scene. 
I hope you've got some great plans for the holiday weekend! Maybe a little crafty time? Whatever you do I'm wishing you lots of fun!
