Just Swinging By To Say...

Hello my friends! Today I wanted to share a simple invitation I made for a friend (Hi Jamie!). Her son is turning one and they are celebrating with a jungle theme party. The other day we went to the craft store and she picked out these Stampendous monkey stamps for the invitations (Changito Dos). I kept the design as simple as possible since I needed to make a bunch of them.
The vine image was stamped twice at the top of the circle, then the monkeys were stamped to look like they were hanging from the vines. The green panel was stamped with leaves in Versamark. For some texture and interest I added a torn edge and wrapped the green panel with embroidery floss. Finished it off with a sentiment stamped in brown.

Thanks for stopping in today, hope you have a blessed day!

Maile

    Adorably fun card, Maile! :) Funny coincidence for me - I just got my first Changito stamp just the other day. I was in Michael's with my boys to pick up stuff for their Halloween parties and one of them picked it up in the clearance section. Now you're making me want to go to my crafting area to make a card with it. :)
