Had a need for some birthday cards, so I used my new stack from Joanns (Cheekee Monkey)!  Lots of really cute 12 x 12 cardstock in this stack.

Base - DCWV Solid Clitter Box of Cards

Monkey  with bananas - LaPetites

Don't remember which cartridge I cut the HB from.

 

Mounted the 2 on a wobble

 



These cute monkeys are stick-ons from EK Success

Stamp was from Michales dollar bin

OMG I originally posted this in 2012. If you haven't already seen these take a look.

Black faux velvet - bought at JoAnn

Black Glitter cardstock - from stash

Standard black textured card stock from Paper Studio

Used the following:

For the card base -- DavidTutera's A2 Cards in cream

For the mat I used black scraps from my stash, some are basic textured card stock, some faux velvet and I had two 12x12 sheets of black glitter all cut at 5 1/4" x 4".

The cuts were done using gold sheets from DCWV Mattalic Stack (cut at 3" or a little larger on some)

For the star I used some bling from Michales
