Hibiscus Paradise

 

I love all things tropical and my niece who is going on a cruise (out of California) to Mexico just gives me tropical vibes. So I wanted something colorful. The 'Happy Hibiscus' stamp set does just that! After I stamped the images... I was able to Emboss and die-cut the flowers all in one go! How fun is that! I used Stampin' Blends to create vibrant colorful flowers.

I added Wink of Stella to the flowers to make them all shine.

Such a great card by Christy Gridley that I knew I had to try my hand at making something similar with the supplies I had. Thanks Christy for your inspiration.

I used the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (DSP) instead of making my own with watercolors.

I used 'Mossy Meadow' and Memento for the trees in the background.

Paradise Wishes

 

When I saw Gail's cards... I just fell in love with them. Each one is unique yet the color scheme is the same. Such beauty. Thanks Gail for your inspiration! I changed mine up a bit to make it my own, but wanted to share where I got the inspiration.

The DSP is from 'Thoughtful Designs' Specialty Paper pack... I felt it worked well with my Seaside card.

I used the sentiment from Paradise Palms with the 'Unbounded Love' dies.

Memorable Leaves

 

I just loved Julie Davison's card, I just had to make one for myself for my best friend.  She loves the color pink, so I changed my color scheme to match her colors. I also used the 'Layered Leaves' embossing folder for the background instead of what Julie used.

Thanks Julie for your inspiration!

I added a Wink of Stella to the petals to make them shine.

Seaside Palms

 

I wanted to utilize the 'Thoughtful Journey' DSP (Designer Series Paper) and thought that this sheet reflected an underwater seabed. So, I embossed 'Seashells' unto the front background.

I used the 'Seaside Wishes' coordinating set to create the shells. The "window" is from the 'Garden Gateway' die set.

Thanks for splashing in!

Midnight Palms

 

Such cute cards made with the 'Paradise Palms' stamp set and it's coordinating dies... I chose the 'Midnight' skyview. I really love how those side panels turned out with the dies on each side! In the photo... I'm sure it's DSP (Designer Series Paper) and not a die.

I used the small blender brush to achieve the effect of the sky on the card. I used Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue and Fresh Freesia.

Thanks for taking a peek!

For my Best Friend's Mom... she's like a second Mom to me! I love her dearly!

I chose a new In-Color - Peach Pie and paired it with Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake.

The sentiment is from the 'Paradise Palms' stamp set.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the flowers to make them shine.

I love this stamp set and I'm so ready for fall. I wanted a more masculine feel, so decided to use the color combo of Pebbled Path, Pretty Peacock, Copper Clay and Wild Wheat.

I love the Deckled Rectangles dies with this stamp set too!

So perfect together.

Paradise Blessing

 

The beginning of Autumn and my favorite colors! I just had to create a card using my favorite color combo of green, red, orange and yellow. I hope you like it as much as I do. My niece surly will.

I added a Wink of Stella to the flower petals to make them shine.

I used a stylus to give the shaped piece behind the flowers some more dimension.
