Baby Shower Card


This is a card I made for a friend's baby shower.  Her husband loves monkeys so to go along with their animal theme, this blanket was included in their registry.  I am always looking for an excuse to use my Create a Critter cartridge and this was my perfect opportunity.  I also included this blanket as part of my gift for the shower.   This was a fun card to make! :)

The inspiration for my card came from this blanket!  

Base of the card is cut out from the Wild Card cartridge and the monkey was cut from the Create a Critter cartridge.  

The sentiment is from Fiskars Precious Baby stamp set.  Monkey is adhered with pop dots to add dimension to the card.  Twine is from the Pink Paislee collection.  Also added tiny googly eyes for fun! :)
