Monkeying Around!.......

Morning everyone, welcome to a very, very early post from me.........and my very FIRST post for
Why not pop over and checkout what the other Design Team members have created ? .... and for those of you who love to 'scrapbook', there's paper scrapping and digital scrapping for you to look at!
Got to admit, I've never done a scrapbook page before, but seeing some of the team's creations, makes me want to try.
Anyway these are the colours that we needed to use for this challenge........


............and this is what I came up with


The card base is 6" x 6", and matted with a slightly smaller square of cerise pearlescent card. 
I cut 2 layers of white 'hammered' card, 5" x 5"  and  3" x 3" and laid one on top of the other for protection.
 I then 'splodged' around the edge with Pan Pastels....Magenta, Diarylide Yellow, White, Raw Umber, Oxide Green, Phthalo Blue, Turquoise.
I think PP's are fabulous, but as I'm a messy crafter, I needed to protect the middle of the card from mess and fingerprints etc., hence the 3" x 3" mat.
A quick zap of cheap hairspray, and it was ready to stamp.
The sentiments and monkeys are from Stampendous, and the foliage is by Inkylicious.
I drew a double, fine line, to make the stamped section stand out from the coloured edge.

No card is complete without a bit of Glamour Dust , so I blinged the little monkeys.....
Well hope you like it, it was certainly fun to make.
Thanks for looking, please leave a comment if you have time, I love reading them x

    Oh wow girl!!! Love what you have done here especially with the PP's i must start saving for them hun, i love the bling on the monkeys too, they look really 3Dimensional with the Glamour Dust io love using my Crystal Glamourdust its a top rate fine glitter isnt it, you can really tell the difference between that and other so called 'fine' glitters, yep, the monkeys look brilliant, and you splodge away to your hearts content, i love the effect you get from PP's and on hammered card too!! Love the whole project, Hugs, Vick xxx
