Tropical Summer

Good Monday Morning!

Today's card is a Tropical Vacation!  (don't I wish!)

I used the Sketch from the #189 Challenge at MFT.

 
I will also be entering my card into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Summer and the Curtain Call  Challenge, Tropical Trip.
 
And here is my card:
 
 
I used the stamp set, Beach Life, from Flourishes.  The Designer Papers are from Echo Park, A Perfect Summer.....aren't they all?  Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Circle Dies, Die-Namics Mini Tabs Foursome, from MFT, and a Corner Tab punch.  Adhesive Rhinestones, a little bit of Stickles for the beach sand and some small brown beads glued on the palm trees as coconuts.  Ahhhh can you smell the salty air, do you feel that cool refreshing breeze?  May all your summer days be like this!  The ribbon was white and I colored it with an Orange Copic Marker.  I also made a matching envelope, may be making more of these for my cards, they are quite a lovely accent!
 
Enjoy The Sunshine!

  5. Really, really great take on the sketch. Love the breezes and soft sand - take me away to there, please. (Wasn't that a great sentence?) I just love this card - your layering is perfect. And then, of course, there's that envie. Great idea to start including them in your photo - points for you my dear!!!
