Color Throwdown #68

Broni is our CTD hostess this week and her colors of Real Red, Only Orange and Crushed Curry, along with a dark neutral, gave me an "eeeek" moment!  But I checked out some of the new Indian Summer BG paper I just received, and found some that was perfect for the challenge.

Now I know this is different from my usual style!   Monkeys are not high on my stamping priority list, but I thought with this jungle-like paper, a cute little monkey face peeking out from the leaves would fit the challenge perfectly, so I used a cute little Simon Says Stamp set called Silly Monkey.  I also used Fall to Layout #67  from the Clean and Simple blog:

and here's the layout:

The card base is Crushed Curry, with my monkey stamped in Palette Noir and colored with Copics.  Nesties, SU punches and some brads finished it off!  I hand-drew some lines on the stamped leaves to mimic the leaves in the paper.
