Monkey Couple Congratulations on Your Wonderful News

Monkey Couple Congratulations on Your Wonderful News

Made this wedding congratulations card for my two (2) Malay colleagues who are tying the knot today. They are so secretive about their relationship that I did not realize until I received the wedding invitation! The news really shocked and surprised me but I wish them well. :)

Wednesday's Creative Inspirations Challenge - Challenge 252 - Anything Goes + Option of a Sketch!

For this card, I am adopting the sketch from Wednesday's Creative Inspirations Challenge - Challenge 252 - Anything Goes + Option of a Sketch! as shown above.

Close-up: The monkey couple

First, the monkey couple image is stamped on a white circle die cut along with the tree trunk. Then, they are colored with Copic markers. I also outline the monkey couple as suggested by Kathy Racoosin on her blog here as I want to make the monkey couple more focus. I tone down the background with a shade lighter blue Copic marker to mimic the jungle. The leaves are stamped surrounding the monkey couple to give more jungle illusion.

On a yellow card base, a green pattern paper is attache onto it as in sketch follow by the pink hearts red background pattern paper strip. Then, the circle image is attached onto the card base as in sketch.

Close-up: Sentiment

The sentiment is stamped on a green frame die cut and attached onto the card base as in sketch. As final touch, some shimmer are added to the monkey couple and I might overdone a little. :P Then, four (4) yellow gems are attached to the corner of the frame.

Dimension: 12.7cm x 19cm or 5" x 7.5"

Type: Top fold

Inlay: None
