Blinged Out Bananas

Here’s my card for this week’s Our Craft Lounge sketch challenge. I used the Jungle Love set for this week’s sketch. Usually when I use this set, I make cards for little boys, so this time, I challenged myself to go girlie.

I colored the monkey image with Copic markers. The monkey’s head was stamped a second time on a scrap of white cardstock, cut out, and added to the image with foam tape.

I used a piece of KaiserCraft’s Hey Birdie paper with some foil in the pattern for a sparkly touch. I embossed two strips of pink cardstock with a dotted pattern for the panels underneath the image. A pair of coordinating green twill tabs slipped under the image panel before I attached it to the cardfront. The sentiment is layered on a pink mat and angled over the top right corner of the image panel using dimensional dots. I added a trio of pale pink brads to the top left corner of the patterned paper before attaching the panel to a pink card base. Girlie? I think so!
