Mums Monkey Christmas Cards of 2020.

I start thinking about my Mums Monkey Christmas cards pretty early on in the year, well the theme part at least, after 11 years it’s getting harder and harder to think of something new, so you can imagine how chuffed I was when this idea popped into my head all the way back in February!

I left the all important photoshoot until September when I got The Boyz to pose in front of their extensive cocktail cabinet in dressed in their finest festive garb.

I then used Publisher to add the sentiment along the top using Fontdinerdotcom Sparkly font………..  https://www.dafont.com/fontdinerdotcom-sparkly.font

….. before sending the finished picture to Free Prints where I paid just £1.49 for P & P  for more than enough 6ins x 4ins prints to make all the cards I needed.

The 7ins x 5ins, rose gold, glitter card blanks came from The Works and I think there were 8 in a pack for £1.50.

As per usual I went overboard on the mat and layering, using white, then red and finally gold mirror card.

The fur on The Boyz hats was also given its customary liberal sprinkling of white, iridescent, ultra fine glitter, simples!

I think these were the quickest Monkey cards I have made in a long  while, mainly due to the perfect size of the photos, where in previous years I have used 7ins x 5ins prints and have then had to cut my own blanks and find envelopes to match. I also think they are my favourite in a long while too. Now…… to think of next years theme ……. aghhhhhhhh, it’s never ending!
