18th Birthday

 Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: I've Got the Blues (use blue as your dominant color).  

Here is my card for your inspiration:

My twins turned 18 yesterday!!  This is the birthday card I created for one of them (I will be showing the other on December 1st!).  She loves monkeys and her favorite color is blue, so this card was designed just for her.  I die cut all the layers and then adhered them together before stamping the "th" part of the sentiment.  Then I stamped, colored and fussy cut out this adorable little monkey.  I adhered him in place and then used DMC embroidery floss to create the bow and string.  I finished it off with some blue color rhinestones that I have had forever!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
