Oh yes, we have no Bananas.....

Good morning all,

I'm back with another post, and just a short one today. I had purchased this funky paper some time ago and thought that SOMEDAY it would make a cute card. Well I got inspired the other day to combine it with two images from Magnolia-licious. #276 Going Banana's Tilda from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection and the Monkey. He is an image someone stamped and gave to me and I've checked in Diana's store, but he doesn't seem to be available. In an case I thought they went cute together. Unfortunately neither of them are available at the moment.

I ran out of rhinestones before I got to the inside of my card so it seems quite plain on the inside.

Here is the front of my card...



A closer look at Tilda...



A side view of the card...



Inside the card....
