tropical chic

Only in Minnesota:  Two weeks ago, it was in the 80’s – 90’s, last week was mostly rainy, and this week we are in the 50’s. I am so not ready for the winter gloom to set in.  I am desperately trying to hang on to summer.  Give me warmth and sunshine!  I decide to play around with the Tropical Chic stamp set to help keep that summertime feelin’ going.

I started by stamping the various leaves all over a Whisper White card base.  I used Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo and Calypso Coral inks.  Next I added a panel of the Wood Textures designer series paper (have I mentioned it is my FAVE!!) with the sentiment stamped in Black Memento Ink. I cut the leaves from the coordinating Tropical Thinlits in Petal Pink, Melon Mambo and Calypso Coral card stock and added a Linen Thread bow.  A quick and simple card, but it really pops.  Think I have to try this in some other color combinations…endless possibilities!

That’s a wrap for today!  Join me again to put a spotlight on creativity!
