2nd assignment for Craft Warehouse

I was asked to make two cards using the new Stampendous stamps that Craft Warehouse was carrying. Here is what I came up with:

The first card I used the monkey stamp and stamped it on light brown paper and cut it out (3 times). I then stamped it again on dark brown paper and just cut out the belly and popped it up. I then took ribbon that has furry patches on it and just cut out the furry part and glued it on the belly. I also used 2 large eyelets and then ran thick string through it to make a 4 lines. I added the leaves that matched the background paper and used stickers to say "let's hang." (I also added glossy accents over the stickers to make sure that they would stay attached.)
For the second card I had two stamps to use. The first one was the two monkeys blowing bubbles. I decided that instead of just using the stamped image I would add different elements to it. I stamped the image again on light and dark brown paper and cut the monkey's out and popped up the bellies. I then cut the handle out of the monkeys hand and replaced it with a little one that I made out of wire. I also didn't use the bubbles that were a part of the stamp. I cut these bubbles out using the die cut machine, added glossy accents, and then placed them where they were on the stamp. I then cut out a bigger circle, used the stamp that said "Hope your day bubbles over with fun" and put it with the other bubbles.
