Summer Fun....

Can you ever go wrong with fun colors and a fun theme...does it ever get to be too much?? I think not!!

Here's another tropical themed card to go with Wednesdays....

I pretty much used the theme and color palette along with a few of the same stamps but added a couple of different ones to make a totally different background.

Stamps:

• small bold hibiscus
• medium bold hibiscus
• bamboo shoot
• classic leaves stamp set
• flipflops
• sending you sunshine

Hope you have a great weekend and I'll see ya back here on Monday with a new challenge for The Shabby Tea Room! I've picked the theme...a fun sketch! Plus a brand new sponsor will be joining us. It's the first time I've ever used something like this and boy is her little product fun!

Sunny days...

I seriously think I should live in the north west. I hate the heat...and besides, I'd be closer to DeNami! It's a win win in my book ;)  However, I usualy get my order here in the midwest in about 3 days after ordering...they rock like that! So maybe just the relief from heat is a good reason to move? ;) But seriously, wow, it's been H.O.T. What happened to spring?? High 80's is not my idea of spring...just sayin'. Because of the heat, I got to thinking about summer and created this little card...

I just had to break out these stamps again. Like I said on Friday...I'm SERIOUSLY addicted to the hibiscus stamps right now.

Pink hibiscus

Today I have a bright and fun card for your viewing pleasure. I really liked the layout I came up with for last months DeNami color challenge and decided to try it out again.

For the flowers I wanted a soft look for the coloring and a bold look for the outline. To get the look I wanted, I took a piece of white cardstock and "distressed" it using a light pink Memento ink before stamping the flowers in a darker pink and fussy cutting them out. Whatcha think? And seriously, where have these hibiscus stamps been all my life?? I just bought them in the last couple of weeks...WHY didn't someone tell me what I was missing??? I think this must be my new favorite...sigh...love :)
