This stamp set is so cute! The adorable monkeys, partridges, and a cat with fishbowl images pair beautifully with all the friendship-themed greetings in the stamp set.
If you love to color, this is your stamp set! I went with a very simple card sketch layout for this card and then used Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party for the main colors. Very quick and easy!
I then used Watercolor Pencils to color in the images. I love Watercolor Pencils because no only are they super easy to use, but you can leave as is, or blend them to get a softer look.
If you would prefer a different color combination, I have many you can choose from in my Color Combination Library. Make sure you check it out! Here’s how I made this fun card:
