Wow, Animals? now there was a challenge in itself as I had very little in the way of animals. Anyway I stamped, coloured, cut out and then glazed this cheeky little monkey from Pink Gems stamps about a week ago and then selected my Basic Grey porcelain papers. Had this wonderful idea of making him swing from branch to branch. Then spent several nights wondering how I could achieve this before deciding to forget this idea and attach him with a brad to give him some movement. For the large embelishment , I used a sizzix die and then embossed it and then touched it over with a sandstone ink pad to lift the dark green. The sentiment was cut using my "Slice" as I haven't really had a really good play with it to date. I then embossed it using the same cuttlebug folder that I had used for the large embelishment and again inked it with the sandstone ink pad to tone it down. The rest is from my stash. Can't really say a lot more as the "deadline" is fast approaching. I really must get myself together a bit better for the next challenge. I've attached two images so that it is clear that the monkey does move (not sure if this is allowed) but please excuse me as I haven't really got my head around blogging yet. Please feel free to leave comments.
