Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge-Tasty Tropics

***  Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Color Throwdown challenge!  ***

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

We hope you'll play along!  The LEAD of this challenge will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!  Please visit the Curtain Call Challenge blog for all the challenge info and deadline.

For my take on the inspiration photo, I focused on the tropical drink and on the color scheme and paired them with the current sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch.  My focal image is one of the penguins from the My Favorite Things Penguins in Paradise stamp set. I stamped the penguin on a matching die cut piece, then used Copic markers to color in the image.  The center of the flower was dotted with a pearl pen for a bit of texture.  I used foam tape to adhere the penguin to a pierced rectangle panel cut from green patterned paper.  

After stamping the "cheers" sentiment on a fishtail flag strip, I added it to the panel, threading it underneath the raised penguin image.  I accented the image with a pair of coordinating purple enamel dots, then matted the patterned paper panel on purple cardstock.  The finished panel was adhered to a green card base.
