My card is for Tuesday's Teapotter Tickle. Lisa's (shoegirl) challenge was based on a neat story that her Grandfather told in re to a monkey teapot. I made my card light-hearted, fun and whimsical with die cuts and paper piecing. I used the basic Tuesday Color Challenge colors, which called for green, blue and purple. I did add a yellow banana and I also used several neutrals. Dessert was to use one of your favorite embellishments. I used twine as a "vine" for the monkey to hang from.
THANKS for looking!

These are such cute monkeys they look like you cut them from felt or felted paper. That foliage is spectacular, you even stitched a line down the centre of the leaves...I'm impressed.

Fun card with your monkeys in the jungle theme, Gabby. Wonderful use of the colors and die cuts to create your scene against the watercolor looking bg.
