At Home with the Monkeys

My card today features some Little Agenda stamps from Mama Elephant. I thought it would be fun to create a wallpaper background for my Little Agenda frames to hang on.

I began by stamping the leaf images from MFT Brushstroke Blooms all over my card base, using Altenew Forest Glades ink cube. 

Next, I cut a piece of green Lawn Fawn Knit Picky Fall paper and adhered that on to one side of my card base. 

To bridge the gap between the two prints, I cut a thin strip of green card and adhered it between them.

Next, I stamped three of the square frame, from the Little Agenda Frames stamp set, onto white card. I masked the edges and stamped some of the Little Monkey Agenda within the frames. You could use any of the fabulous Little Agenda stamp sets - there’s so much choice.

I coloured the images in with my alcohol markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I added the hanging pieces to the card with liquid glue, then the frames with foam squares. To finish, I added a small sentiment from the Little Agenda Frames stamp set.

I love the 'Wallace and Gromit' look of this card, with the contrasting wallpaper and fun photo frames.

Have a lovely day,

Gemma

I love the look of gallery walls so I thought I’d recreate the look on a card. Of course, I had to get out some rainbow colours to team with these cute monkeys from Mama Elephant.

I began by stamping some Little Agenda Frames, and die cutting them with the coordinating dies. I arranged some of the frames on a white card base, to help figure out a layout that worked. Once I was happy, I added colour to the frames with alcohol markers and adhered them to the card base with liquid glue.

On the inner frame die cut pieces, I stamped some different monkeys from the Mama Elephant Little Monkey Agenda stamp set, colouring them with alcohol markers too, along with some white gel pen details. I saved one frame for a sentiment, from the Little Agenda Frames stamp set. I added these to the frames to finish the card.

Thanks for joining me today,
