Dies R Us #194 ~ Kindergarten Graduation

 Hello and welcome to another challenge, starting today, at Dies R Us.

Challenge #194 ~ Dad's/Masculine

(as long as you use a die that is sold at Dies R Us)

My little grandson graduated from Kindergarten. I made this card for him to celebrate this milestone in his young life :-)

This was one of those "I got to have" stamp and die sets :-) These chimps are just too darn cute and having a 5 year old grandson ... well, I just "had to have it" 😀

I started by stamping a bunch of images, and then coloured them using copic markers.  Next I die cut them all.  I also die cut the card frame and all other bits and pieces I wanted to use to create this "jungle" scene. Once all the die cutting and colouring was done, it was just a matter of playing around to put each little chimp where I wanted it.  As a final touch, I added glassy accents to the trophy as well as to all the bananas.  I'm hoping the little guy will love it 😀

Here is the list of supplies used to made this card, each linked to the Dies R Us store, for your convenience.
