This weeks Treehouse Stamps challenge is to create a circle card. I chose to use the newly released Monkey Business stamp set for my sample.
I created my ring of leaves using the Stampin' Up two step bird punch.
I hope you like my little monkey card! I think this guy would be a perfect kids birthday card or birthday invitation. Since it takes a bit of effort to put the ring of leaves on this card you might not want to mass produce this one.

Julie this is fantastic. I love the little leaf branches you placed all around the banana panel with the scallop circle base. Such fabulous details. Great job on this challenge.

What a darling circle card using this cute, cute monkey. Thank goodness for the punch for those leaves but as you say, it probably took a bit of time to attach them. It really added so much to the card, though. Love it bunches!!!

OMGoodness, Julie, this card is just a hoot. I love the image and your coloring is out of this world fabulous. I've never attempted to make a card like this....why try when you know you cant even come close. How special taking the extra time to lay down those punched leaves~
