WHAT'S UP?

The new September challenge at Simply CAS Challenge, that's what's up! This month the challenge presented by Darlene is "Jungle Animals". 

Simply Clean & Simple: September 2026 - Jungle Animals

This was quite a stretch for me this month, since I had to really comb through my supplies for a single image of a jungle animal. Well, this is it - a couple of monkeys from an ancient acrylic stamp set with a copyright of 2006. I bought it in 2011 for a 2nd birthday invitation for our grand-twins - that's how old this is! This will probably be the last time I use this stamp because it's starting to break down.

For the background I stamped a white card base with green inks with an upside-down vine from an old leaf stamp set of PTI's, to suggest a jungle environment. I stamped the monkeys on the face of the card and die cut a Stampin' Up tag from it and colored them with copics and blended a bit of light green under them. I tied on a piece of fine linen thread that I colored with inks and mounted it over 3 additional layers of tags for some dimension, after adding the tiny sentiment.
