Ok, can I say again that I love the Changito Monkies! Those little smiles are adorable! Ok, this card was a labor of love. It took me two days, that's right, two days! The large white flowers in the background are heat embossed and then I sponged Wild Wasabi Ink onto the rest of the bg. I LOVE that technique! I distressed the edges with my Distressing ink from Tim Holtz. The floral stamps are from the retired SU hostess set "Island Blossoms", the monkey is a "Changito" monkey from Stampendous, and the sentiment is from the SU "Wild About You" set. I have never used that many brads on one card but at least I am using my stash of embellies! The ribbon, cs, and DP are all SU. I used my Prisma's and gamasol to color the monkey, and the ovals are my new Nestabilities! I hope you like my card! Also, I finally reached 2500 hits so I will be posting blog candy tomorrow!!! Make sure to check back!

I really love the card. The background is especially gorgeous. I don't have two days to spend on a card, but I might try out that background technique.
