Zoo Babies Love Playing in the Sheltering Tree for Crafters Cafe

Theme: Humorous

It’s All in the Details

• The card started with downloading, sizing and printing the digital image.
• The card base is Sweet Sugarplum cardstock, cut to 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2.
• The cute Tutti-frutti DSP was cut and layered onto Daffodil Delight cardstock. The other side of the DSP was cut and layered on top of the background.
• The tree and leaves were stamped onto Whisper White cardstock, then cropped in a Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die Cut. The edges were sponged with Sweet Sugarplum ink.
• The oh-so-cute monkey was stamped twice and cropped with a coordinating Die Cut from Dies by Dave.
• I found a banner a retired Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits that fit pretty nicely in the spot I wanted to use the sentiment, so I cropped out the sentiment then sponged the edges in Sweet Sugarplum.
• A short piece of Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Double-Stitched Ribbon was placed on the card, then one monkey adhered on it and the other on the sentiment.

 INSIDE

• Quick and Easy! I added a wonderful sentiment from Petal Palette, then layered it onto Daffodil Delight.
