I used the large palm tree image from the My Island set for my focal image. The backdrop for the tree is made with a combination of sponged distress inks for the sky and torn and inked kraft cardstock strips for the sand. The tree stands out nicely stamped in bold black ink.
I layered the image panel on a kraft card base, then added a felt cloud along with an orange button sun at the top left corner of the panel. The set's "mahalo" sentiment is stamped on an orange strip and accented with a pair of copper brads. And, now that the card's done, we're back to more seasonal, chilly weather, so I guess this will be the end of cards like this one for a while!
Materials Used:
My Island stamp set (Waltzingmouse Stamps); Versafine Onyx Black ink (Tsukineko); Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, and Salty Ocean distress inks (Ranger); Fresh Snow ink, Kraft cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Tempting Turquoise and Pumpkin Pie cardstock (Stampin' Up!); copper brads (Making Memories); corner rounder

ReplyDeleteYour sand dunes look REAL, Lori! Can't even tell you how happy I am to see a warm card right about now :) It was in the 60's and 70's earlier this week and we got spoiled...because it quickly dropped back to the 30's and I can't even take it, hee! Oh, and there's a button sun...big smile!!
ReplyDeleteLori, we are having the same kind of weather here! I love Christmas in California when I can still wear sandals. : )
