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.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

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):

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge this week & we’re visiting Party Swizzle & their Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS picture.

For my tropical birthday card, I die cut the wonderful Monstera Layering Combo from the Apr Blessing Box, out of white, lt blue & cobalt blue. I added dimension between the white layer & between each of the blue layers w/ foam tape. These are really easy to layer since the frame is also part of each layer & makes putting them together a snap. I wanted the Aloha greeting to stand out so I used a hot pink for the top layer & attached it to a white layer of its shadow.  Some pink gems were sprinkled around for a little more color & sparkle.
Here’s the inside.
