Happy Birthday to You!

For those of you that don't know, I have a major weakness for monkeys! Any time I come across a cute t-shirt with a monkey on it, or a little stuffed monkey doll, I HAVE to buy them for my kids... cute monkey stamps? No exception! So of course, I HAD to have this cute Monkey Zoo stamp from CC Designs! Not only is the image adorable, but I LOVE the sentiment that comes with it!

Cute, right?! So I whipped up this quick birthday card for my nephew...
  
MonkeyZoo
Supplies: Hammermill White CS; Neenah Desert Storm CS; DCWV Brights CS Stack;
My Mind's Eye Out of the Blue 6x6 pad; Memento Tuxedo Black; Versamagic Jumbo Java;
Versamagic Wheat; Oval and Scalloped Oval Nestabilities; Pop Dots; Ribbon; Copics
  
Copics Used:
Monkey - E37, E35, E33
Face, Ears - E21, E00, E000
Cheeks - R30
Ribbon - YR18, YR15, YR12
Shading - E42, E41, 0
 
I stamped only the first line of the sentiment on the outside of the card, and the rest is stamped on the inside (sorry - I forgot to take a picture of that!). All cardstock edges are inked with Versamagic Jumbo Java ink, except for the main image oval, which is inked with Versamagic Wheat. The gift box and hat are paper pieced with papers from the My Mind's Eye Out of the Blue 6x6 Pad. I did a little shading with my copics on the paper pieced areas, just so it wouldn't look so flat.
  
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
  
That's all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by! I would love to know what you think!

The sentiment just MAKES the whole stamp...how many times have I heard my crazy kids sing that? (Heck, I'VE sung it a bajillion times...lol) Fun colours & I love how they pop off the kraft!
