Hey monkey...

Good afternoon, Bloggers!  Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend, whatever you were doing...we had a wonderful family weekend away in Yorkshire, visiting loved ones...

...We started in York on Friday, doing a bit of shopping and visiting theYork Museum and Gardens, then were staying at a little village called Slingsby, near the Castle Howard estate.  We visited Robin Hood's Bay, Riveaulx Terrace and Nunnington Hall and did a Treasure Trail around the village of Slingsby.  We ate out and had a lovely time visiting family and even the sun shone for us...if a little on the cold side!  Altogether, what more could you ask for than being with loved ones in a beautiful part of the country and the sun shining...if only it could have lasted a bit longer!
So anyway, I have a card to share with you today that uses the same sketch as the Dreamy Dragon card I made a few posts ago...

...This time I did it for a boy and used Mo Manning's Monkey Tricks and Dovecraft Masculine papers...

...As ever, I coloured this cheeky chappy with my Promarkers and he was so simple to colour.  Here's the colours I used :

Body : Vanilla, Sandstone, Caramel, Cocoa

Face : Satin, Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink

Shorts : Aniseed FM, Lime Zest. Lime, Pear Green

Shadow : Glacire Blue FM, Pastel Beige

The leaves are cut using a Cheery Lynn Leaf border and the bananas are actually the waste from my Marianne lace ribbon border die...

...I added an insert inside, rather than decorating fully, using the line image and a digital sentiment...

...and finally, a sideways view...

...The sun is shining again today, so it's off to hang some more washing out on the line and then the dreaded ironing!  A big hello to my newest followers and welcome to my little corner of Blogland - hope you enjoy your visits!  Thanks for dropping by to see me and don't forget about our current 'Fantasy' challenge over at Passion for Promarkers this week!  Lisa x
