I was asked to make a card for a great-grandson's 1st birthday. He'd recently been given a toy monkey so I decided to use a monkey template on the Polka Doodles Paper Boutique CD. He's such a loveable looking monkey and I thought he was friendly enough not to scare a 1 year old. The backing papers are also from the CD. The image has been cut out, inked around the edges and decoupaged. I put another image inside and one on the back of the card. The card is simply finished off with a sentiment off the computer and leaves and a banana from the CD as I am always a bit reluctant to put embellishments on young children's cards in case they pull something off and put it in their mouths.
The card was LOVED by the recipient. What I didn't know is that the little boy received the card will "go bananas" if he doesn't have a banana to eat each day!!!
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Pixie Dust Challenge - Let's go the zoo
Dream Valley - Animals
Unstampbelles - Anything goes
My Time to Craft - A is for adorable
