Tempting Favorite

A simple card for today. I'm still using the same stamp set and designer series paper as the last two posts: Tropical Party and Island Oasis DSP.  I really like how I can use the same two things and make a wide array of designs.  Don't you just love that!??!

 

Here's a close up of the sparkly flower.  I'm not sure if you can tell from this picture that there is glitter in the middle of the flower.

Stamps: Tropical Party, Favorite Thoughts

Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive

Paper: Island Oasis DSP, Whisper White card stock, So Saffron card stock, Tempting Turquoise card stock, Old Olive card stock

Accessories: Scallop Border Punch, Paper Snips

Tropical Party Get Together

I absolutely LOVE the Tropical party stamp set.  It has quite the summery effect on me whenever I see it.  Don't these images just make you feel like a Mai Tai in Hawaii??  

I used the masking technique on this card to create the cluster of trees and cut out the coconut and the flower to make it pop out.

Its a Tropical Party weekend...   continuing yesterday's question....

Tropical Window

Here's a Tropical Party card to show you today.  This one was inspired by a sway card I received from a fellow demonstrator, Gayle (I'm sorry, I don't know her last name).  She's one of my upline's sideline. My upline only has one downline (me) so I join in their swaps with my upline's upline and sideline.  (Wow, that's a mouth full!)  Back to the card...  Working a full-time job sometimes makes me feel like my short 4 day weekends just are never enough to get rested and rejuvenated.  So I find myself dreaming of a Hawaiian vacation while I sit in my lovely windowless cubicle.  Gayle's card inspired me to make a window looking out to the beautiful tropical paradise just beyond my reach. 

The coconut represents the little taste of paradise within my reach. What's in the coconut you ask?  Hmmm... a nice blended strawberry peach smoothie with a hint of pineapple juice perhaps.  Oh that sounds SOOO GOOD especially in this heat!

What would YOU have in your coconut?  Leave a comment below!

Happy Friday!
