Less is more challenge 6

Hi everyone this week at Less is More is stamping off the edge. I had three goes at this which I didn't like  and ended in the bin, so used some other stamps. I used  Monkeying Around stamps designed by Sam Poole. I love these cheeky little chaps. I cut a third off the front of my card in a curve shape. Then I stamped the leaves off the top end  of the card. This was my  jungle on the front  and across the inside to match when the card is shut. I then stamped the swinging monkey onto a vine on the front. I opened my card up and drew the vine lined up with the front one. For this I used the curved piece of card I had cut off the front and a fine black liner pen. I then stamped my other monkey, banana and sentiment on the inside. I coloured them with promarkers. Hope you like it.
Thanks for visiting. Hugs x ChrisB
