Free Hugs

Hello!  Today I am featuring the super cute monkey from Paper Smooches‘ Comforting Hugs stamp set.  I just love his sweet expression as he hugs onto his banana.  The banana reminded me of a crescent moon, so I thought a galaxy background would be perfect for this image.  Luckily for me, I had one already prepared that I had opted not to use for another project.

The galaxy background was created by smooshing layers of Distress Oxide inks onto watercolor paper.  I dried each layer with my heat tool before adding the next to prevent the colors from mixing.  I trimmed the panel down and adhered it to a white card.

That adorable monkey was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copics, and popped up with foam tape.  After die-cutting a circle from some white cardstock, I framed the monkey with the negative.  Onto a die-cut banner, I white heat-embossed a sentiment from Comforting Hugs.  Some star sequins and a little Spectrum Noir sparkle brush add the finishing touch to this galaxy-inspired card.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the ‘net.  Have a great day!

I’m linking this card up with Paper Smooches’ September Guest Designer Search and Paper Smooches’ July 2017 Challenge:  Anything Goes.
