I really wanted to use the Little Monkey Bundle so I thought I would doing it with this style of card. I started with a Pecan Pie card base and added a Crumb Cake layer and the DSP from the Bright & Beautiful papers I chose the Blue paper as I thought it looked like the sky and it would go well with the monkeys fling through the air. So I stamped some branches onto Basic White and coloured them using my marker pens and I also stamped some onto the DSP colouring them as well. I cut out the 4 branches and added 3 to the front of the card across the bridge. I also cut out some of the bananas as well so that they are hanging in the trees. Finishing off with a sentiment tag from the stylish shapes dies and hanging a couple of monkeys from the trees.
from the side of the card you can see that the bridge section is a concertina fold so it will spring out once the card is removed from the envelope. I did also add some iridescent rhinestones to the finish off the front of the card. I also carried my theme over to the inside of the card. With another Monkey hanging from a branch. along with the words Little Monkey. I coloured all of my Monkeys with Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake. They are really very cute.
