CC design, This hugs for you!

I LOVE this set from CCDesign. It just has so much potential, and who can't love a monkey?. The inspiration for this card is from Bell Papier. I saw this card and it just floored me. I instantly knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to keep the whole card soft and airy, and then have the image like a punch of color.
recipe:
Stamps: Monkey Love and Big Ol Background in Plaid, SU stem Silhouettes
Ink: Stewart Superior Hybrid in Burn Umber, Ranger Distress Ink in Linen, Broken China, faded jean and shabby shutter.
Paper: Papertrey Stamper select white ( for image), Stampin Up Whisper White ( for second circle and small matted square, Cryogenic White ( shimmer CS for floral BG), Natural Ivory ( SU for card).
Other: Prismacolor and Faber and Castel Color Pencils, OMS, Twinkling H2O's, , Caramel marker for stitching.Atyou Spica Glitter pens, Ranger liquid pearl, May Art Ribbon, Nestabilities circles and squares
Image is stamped and then flowers and grass were sketched in. Colored with color pencils first and then accented with Twinkling H2O's. Image was die cut, and every layer in card is distressed. Small Square mat is stamped with Plaid BG. Large square is stamped with stem silhouettes then sponged with blue and green, stippled with pink H2O's and then dotted with liquid pearls.
Thanks so much for stopping by
Hugs
Sophie
