Monkeying around

I have been wanting to get these adorable little cheeky chaps onto cards for ages. For this first card I have used Paper addicts colour pop paper and some green card scraps torn to make kind of vines or leaves. Some yellow and orange Nuvo drops in the corners and coloured the monkey with the following Nuvo alcohol markers:

Skin:478,472,473

Fur:465,463,461

Banana: 405,401

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Through the craft room door - Anything goes 

Dream Valley - One for the boys

This second card I wanted to also try out some nuvo shimmer powder and I am so happy with the effect that it gives for the background. So you can expect to see me using them again :D

As well as the Nuvo shimmer powder I also finished the card with some more dark blue nuvo drops in the top corner and although you can't really see from the picture there is glossy accents on the balloon.
This little monkey has also been coloured using the following Nuvo alcohol markers:

Skin:478,472,473

Fur:465,463,461

Balloon: 430,428,427
