Work That Crown

The almost back to summer weather we experienced over the past few days inspired this pineapple themed card.  It was hard to think about fall--and winter--with temperatures at close to 80!

The layout is from the current challenge at Stamp Ink Paper.  I used a pineapple image from the Paper Smooches Pineapple Crush stamp set.  The image was colored with Copic markers, then cut out with the matching Pineapple Crush Icons die.  I used foam tape to adhere the die cut image to a circle over a length of looped gold thread.  The image panel was matted on a gold circle, then adhered to a pale green card base over a golden yellow dotted patterned paper panel.  For the sentiment, I stamped the "work that crown" sentiment from the Pineapple Crush 2 set in a straight line on a narrow golden yellow cardstock strip.  The sentiment strip was adhered over the pineapple image, using foam tape at the ends for dimension.

Materials Used:
Pineapple Crush and Pineapple Crush 2 stamp sets, Pineapple Crush Icons dies (Paper Smooches); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); markers (Copic); Spring Moss and Harvest Gold cardstock (Papertrey Ink); gold paper (Target); The Sweetest Thing-Honey 6x6 paper pad (My Mind's Eye); circle dies (Spellbinders); gold thread (Michaels); foam tape
