Koalas, Monkeys, and Love, Oh My!

I made a couple "love you" cards with a couple of the "love"able new Simon Says Stamp stamp/die sets...

 I thought the animals in the new Hello There stamp/die set were so adorable, so I used the koala and the monkey for my two cards.  I die cut, then colored the animals with my Prismacolor markers.  I layered them a couple times, as well.  I used a swivel exacto knife to cut the paws of the koala a bit to hold the stamped and die cut heart from the set.  I added a little glossy accents to the heart for shine.  I stood the koala on a die cut layered love you sentiment, with an added stamped sentiment from the Love You Like stamp set below it.  Here's a close up...

Then, I used the adorable monkey, who's arms looked like they were in the "SO MUCH LOVE" position, for the second card...

 I stamped, die cut, colored then layered the monkey.  I added a hanging heart on twine, also glossy accented like the first, using the same two sentiments as the first card.  Here's a close up...

Such fun with these little cuties!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
