I happened to be scrolling though my scrapbooking folder and happened upon some animal kits ...... check this out I thought ..... pick out the monkey, format to size, print and there we have it. Then I found some papers, and other ephemera .......
Every year my two daughters are given calendars from their local Chinese Food Takeaways and pass them onto me. This year the boxes are perfect to use as the base card, part of one box can be seen in the top left of this picture ....I printed out some fortune cookie strips onto some thin paper.
Now I have my ingredients let's start cooking!!!
I fussy cut all the chosen images, except for the fortune cookie strips, and then laid them all atop each card. Eventually, after much switch around, I have the layouts I want. I adhered the background paper to each card and left to dry.
Once dry the serious work began....
I attached the monkey, decorated him with some biro fur, and then cut the cookie paper to size, edged it with a promarker and attached to the lower edge of the card. I wrecked the 'glass' button I was going to use but managed to find a suitable gel sticker.
I treated my second monkey the same except that I was a bit more careful with the glaze on the 'button' and placed the cookie paper diagonally across the lower edge.
This monkey is a cheeky monkey and I miscalculated the size!
I managed to fit him on the page, placing two 'buttons' behind him.
The cookie paper was too large for the card so I folded it as though it had just come out of the Fortune Cookie and placed the beginning edge under his paw.
I used this monkey with a red background and some cut out 'coins'.
Once again I folded the paper and attached it under his jaw ......
