Fun & Cute Challenge

This card is for the Fun and Cute Challenge over on the Moxie Fab World Blog!  The deadline is on Monday, so I'm barely getting it in!!  I have decided that if I am going create something "fun and cute," I have to have cute stamps.  Others may not need this, but I do. 

I recently bought these Hero Arts Playful Animals stamps on Amazon. (Who loves a good gift certificate?!) I thought they would make for a good encouragment card.  I'm a teacher, so I probably should make a lot of these for my fellow teachers this year!  It would be fun to stick them in someone's mailbox when you know that person needs a little lift.  It's either that or a Starbucks coffee - and that could get expensive!

You know what the hardest part about this card was?  Curling the monkey's tail around the ribbon "vine!"

Thanks for looking!  Come play along!

OH!  Have you seen Betsey Veldman's post, "I Challenge You to a Challenge?"  Look into it!

Supplies:
Stamps: Playful Animals, and the grass from Stamp Garden (both Hero Arts)
Cardstock:  Spring Rain, New Leaf (PTI), Kraft
Ink: New Leaf, Dark Chocolate
Ribbon: New Leaf
Other:  rhinestones, Sakura Stardust pen

This is darling! Love the way you used the ribbon for the vine. And your idea to 'perk' up other workmates with this is super!

The monkey is adorable! I think it's perfect for your fellow teachers when they need a lift. The ribbon vine is so clever!!

I love how you tied the ribbon to give it the look of a vine. The monkey and alligator stamps are just too cute.

Very clever 'vine'! I love the idea of making a bunch of these for your fellow teachers. I'm sure it'll bring a smile to their faces!
