Post 241: CAS OLC- Hang in there!

Hi folks!

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple One Layer Card I made today. This is a top folding A2 sized card. I used a never before used stamp which I bought a while back so was happy to finally put it to use. The Funky Monkey by Avery Elle. Did some masking and ink blending and then created some ink blots with distress ink and an aqua brush for an arty look. Wanted it to look like an artsy speech bubble. I like the sentiment which reads, "Its a jungle out there, hang in there". I think it will make for a nice encouragement card for my niece when she needs a bit of cheering up :) (she loves monkeys). I'm sorry the photo looks a bit blurry, the expanded version is fine. Not sure whats wrong there. 

List of Supplies:

Avery Elle Stamp- Funky Monkey

Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad

Distress Oxide Inkpad- Fossilized Amber

Distress Mini Inkpad- Spiced Marmalade
