G’Day Stampers,
I hope you all had a great Christmas, despite the floods in Qld & the snow in parts of USA & Europe. To think that Perth has Bush Fires!
Today’s card is from the sketch over at Stamping 411 and as usual a great one to use in creating a card or project.
For my card, I used supplies from the current Summer Mini Catalogue. I cut my Cardstock – So Saffron and adhered Regal Rose to the top of it. I then cut a piece of DSP – Island Oasis – to adhere to the top of Regal Rose.
Using my Scallop Trim Punch, I punched both top & bottom of the Tempting Turquoise Cardstock and adhered a piece of So Saffron across the middle of it.
I then stamped the sentiment from “Cheers to You” in Chocolate Chip directly onto the So Saffron. Inking the branch in Old Olive from the Stamp Set “Tropical Party”, I stamped a couple of random images directly onto the So Saffron.
I inked the coconut from the same Stamp Set, coloured the umbrella & straw using my Watercolour Pencils, cut around the image & adhered over the top of the branches using SU® Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Ooh this looks so warm & tropical, what a great card for those of us who have just had a blizzard to help think of warmer times 🙂
I love this card, so bright and cheerful, just what we need with all the dreary weather we have been having. I love seeing all your creations and have today passed along a Stylish Blogger Award to you. I look forward to seeing more of your work in 2011
How Tropical and Fun….makes me want to find a warm beach somewhere. Thanks for sharing.
