Happiest Day – Tropical Thinking of You

Welcome to Sunday and the newest Paper Players (#700) challenge. This week, LeAnne has a super sketch for us. Three basic shapes and lots of possibilities.

Inspiration: If You Give A Crafter a Cookie (#194) Aloha Hibiscus; Beautiful Blossoms (#19) for their Tropical Floral Mood Board; and choosing four of the Color Dare (#610) Six Pack Board options (Flamingo, Peach, Lagoon, and Rosy) to complete my design.

Here is the result:

HAPPIEST DAY – TROPICAL CHIC – TROPICAL LEAF – PP700 – CC194 – BBC019 – CD610

Steps:

Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Flirty Flamingo cardstock.
Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with my favorite retired Subtle 3D Embossing Folder for a little texture.
Shapes: (4¼” x 5½”) Basic White cardstock.
- The Hibiscus Flower from the retired Tropical Chic stamp set was stamped six times, two each with Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo ink and die-cut with the coordinating Flower die from the retired Tropical Thinlits Dies set.
- The Large Tropical Leaf from the now retired Tropical Leaf stamp set was stamped twice with Pretty Peacock ink and punched out with the Tropical Leaf Punch, a still available On-Line Exclusive product.
- The Small Tropical Leaf, also from the Tropical Leaf stamp set, was stamped twice with 2^nd Generation (stamped off once) Pretty Peacock ink and fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
Sentiment Label: (2¼” x ½”) Flirty Flamingo cardstock scrap.
- The sentiment, Thinking of you today & every day, from the Happiest Day stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch with the Leaf Bundles making up the top and bottom shapes and the Flowers making up the center shape. Some of the Leaves and Flowers were popped up with Dimensionals as was the Sentiment.

A summery bright and fun thinking of you card.
