A little Tropical Fun!

I recently hosted a team event where we had a Tropical Theme. I do love a good theme and with the Tropical Oasis Suite (which by the way, I will never ever get rid of it, the pineapple frame lit can’t be beat!) it was easy to come up with these 3 amazing cards!

I started by using the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (pg 171 of the Idea Book and Catalogue). The silver edge of the card added a nice detail and an anchor for designing the cards.

The first card featuring the awesome pineapple die also ties in the Seriously The Best stamp set (pg 60 of the Occasions Catty). I isolated the word Hello and fussy cut it out using Pretty Peacock. I added in some Sale-a-bration items—can you spot them?

The flower card in the center was stamped in Whisper White Kraft ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I coloured it using, the Mango Melody pigment sprinkles! You simply tap some onto a block, give it a light spritz of water and use an Aqua Painter to color it in. I should note that it is also stamped on Shimmery White card stock to hold the water. You should give this colouring technique a try!

The final card I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pretty Peacock and the foam brayers to create the background. The small flower is stamped with the Saddle Brown Stazon Ink and coloured with the Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends. And the palm trees are coloured with good ole regular Stampin’ Write markers!
