Monochrome Monkey

      I'm finally finished with my card for today.  I used a Meljens designs "monkey" for my stamp today. I decided to make it a Mans, Monochrome Monkey with Browns as my color.  I haven't seen many of these, so i thought that it may be something different. I try to make Meljens a definite weekly challenge.
     I used paper from a CVS stack that i bought years ago, and old EK success punch to make my washers, Ribbon from Offray, twine that i had in my stash and screw eyelets that i've had forever and never used. I used my word window punch and my label punch from Stampin'up for the sentiments.
