Hello Monkey

Many years ago I had a friend fight cancer and I started sending her a card every week.  For some reason I did lots of monkey cards because I wanted to make her smile.  Years later I had a student worker who also loved monkeys and her favorite color is orange.  I learned to love using orange in my card making from her.  She needs a little cheering up so hopefully this monkey brings a smile to her face.  (I am glad to use some of my collection of monkeys up - this applique patch is very well aged.)

The challenge at The Paper Players is Animal Antics (feature any animal).  My monkey is an animal.

I was cleaning up and trying to put all my backgrounds that I have made in one place and found this piece of bright orange/yellow/pink and the green piece.  I have no idea what medium was used to make these panels.

I did use distress oxide inks to color the base background.

The sentiment was die cut from a scrap of brown.  Luckily there was enough brown to mat the monkey piece and the orange piece.  I used a piece of scrap green card stock to mat the background.

Thanks for stopping by.  Remember to make a card and send it and make someone smile.
