Heartfelt Creations - A Little Bit of Paradise

I am sharing a card I created with the "Monkeying Around Stamp and Die set from Heartfelt Creations!    Isn't it fun and relaxing?   I am in the mood.  I am spending two weeks in Hawaii at a mystery conference - Left Coast Crime.   I too feel like I am just lounging around, sleeping and eating!    I love the beach and I think this is one of my favorite places to vacation!

The Palm tree was adhered using dimensional foam dots.   The monkey in the hammock was placed on the card in a way that make it look like it was hanging from the tree.    Fern was adhered from behind the hammock and on the left side.   Flowers were applied as shown in the picture.   Minnie Pearls Prills were applied to the center for embellishment.    The sweet little chain of monkeys were  adhered to the right side of the card - hanging from the tree as shown.  The banana was placed in the hand of the smallest monkey.   

There are layers, layers and layers in this card but very easy to create!   What a fun card to make!
