Tropical Paradise

A colorful, tropical card easy to make w/ these fun dies, some ink & a few colored pencils. Sure to brighten someone’s birthday, vacation or retirement.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC926) and we’re visiting The Classy Home & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture to inspire me.

To make my tropical card, I die cut the palm tree frame out of grass green & stacked it a few times to give it a little depth. I used green, brown & blue-green inks to sponge on top of it, then added some details w/ Prismacolor pencils. I also used the pencils to color in the water on the white layer behind it. The grass, sand & little hilly island were also die cut & shaded w/ inks & pencils. I added the other elements to the white bg before attaching the palm tree frame on top.

The small flowers were die cut, shaped & added at the bottom of the frame. The coconuts were made using a small hole punch then colored in.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC865) this week! We’re visiting Old Farmer’s Almanac & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS pretty picture.

I used the dies included in the Blessing Box for my tropical card. The palm trees, flamingo, beach chair, ground & Aloha were die cut twice..once out of purple & once out of pink & stacked. The frame was cut out of a lighter purple & I used a large oval die to cut out the center & I used a smaller oval to cut out the darker purple layer to put inside it.

The sunset scene behind it is a from the Sunset Skies slimline pad. All of the die cut elements were popped up for dimension.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC859) we’re visiting Crazy Dog T-shirts & their Pinterest Board. I picked THIS pair of socks for my inspiration.

My card is very dimensional w/ the monstera leaf triple layered die. I cut the bottom layer out of white, the middle out of yellow & the top vein layer out of hot pink. I used a piece of the Tropical Brights paper (included in the Blessings Box) for the background & used some foam tape to elevate the first monstera layer. The flowers were colored & die cut along w/ the circle greeting.

Here are the Copics I used for the flowers (the flowers were left over from another card, so I used them here):
