Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: Tacky Glitter.
I'm having a "Markie and Mark" withdrawl day! They both have gone back out in the world, while I'm stuck at home...*INSERT audible sigh HERE. NOT!!!!!! I'm FREE!!! At last! I've got the house to myself, oh, and the cats, of course! LOL! That said, Markie has a Beanie Buddy Monkey that we call Monkey Mark! Well...yesterday, Monkey Mark disappeared from his regular spot. I just found him, in the bathroom, in the tub....WITH SPEEDY THE CAT asleep on him! LOL!
I was inspired to use this cute Monkey for a Valentine today! To make the background, I used 1/4" and 1/2" Tacky Tape. I adhered the lines of Tacky Tape on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Then, I peeled away the liners for the 1/4" and poured Martha Stewart Red Glitter, (found at 75% at Walmart, YESTERDAY! LOL) and pressed it into the tape. I had to use a brush, then a Swiffer Cloth, then the brush again to get the "clinging" glitter off the paper. I repeated the process with the pink.
The image was colored with Copic markers. I sponged the Real Red elements with Riding Hood Red for depth.
The Large Frame heats are Nesties. The smaller hearts are Marths Stewart punches.

This is a be-autiful card. Love the little monkey image and layout is great.
Speedy is no dummy he knows where to take stuff so you can't find it. You might have to buy another

What an absolutely fabulous Valentine card. That little Monkey Mark is just too cute, I love the glittery striped hat and the bg ones too and the Nestie that you used looks terrific on this card.
LOVE IT ALL!!!!

very cute, My daughter who turned 31 in Dec has gotten a monkey for her birthday every year since birth. I have to find this stamp and make her a card.
