Going Bananas

Here is my first entry sponsored by "Hands, Head and Heart" blog. I had to use a stamp from the "Just So Hippy" set released by Gina K last month. I stamped the little guy with sepia versafine. I then colored him in with colored pencils and Turpenoid(Gamsol). Then I stamped the banana from SeeD's with the same ink and cut it out. I also colored it with colored pencils and Turpenoid. I used an Xacto knife to trim around his hand so that he could "hold" the banana. I then stamped the saying which is also from SeeD's and added the Valentine sticker below it. Both white pieces were edged with pink ink. All were cut and matted twice with the pink and brown mats. I added a strip of brown cardstock under the two matted pieces. I then added a strip of ribbon across the bottom and taped it under the patterned paper. I attached the whole front piece to a brown card. And that is it.
