This card includes 4 of High Hopes recently released stamps.
"Large Monkey Mike"...."You're Top Banana With Me"..."Single Banana" and "Banana Tree".
You can find these and more Fabulous new and older stamps here: http://www.highhopesstamps.com/
I used Prismacolor pencils (OMS) and H20's to deepen the shading on the Monkey and Banana.
I stamped the banana tree on a light yellowish paper with Old Olive.
I cut around the Monkey's hand with an exacto knife to hold the banana.
The basic grey paper happens to be called Fruit cake ....but I think it worked well here.
The Cute Monkey and sentiment are on foam pop-ups.
Thanks so much for looking!!
