Tropical Island Getaway Card

Hello, crafty friends.

This is Shannon Lee Smith with cardsbyshannonlee.com.

Today I have a card I’ve created with products from Kat Scrappiness for the Aloha Friday Challenge Design Team.

I started by die-cutting the palm tree layers, island, and coconuts from white cardstock.  I color those elements with Copic markers.

Next, I use the Teal Glitter 6x6 paper pad and die cut the water with the Stitched Waves dies.  I had to cut two sections because the paper comes in a 6x6 inch pad, but I made a slimline card.  I glued the sections side by side and covered the seam with the palm tree so it would not be noticeable.

Then I cut a slimline card panel and die ink blending of a sunset using dye inks by Lawn Fawn.  I used the following colors: Peachy Keen, Peach Fuzz, Apricot, and Butter to create the beautiful orange/coral sunset.

Finally, I die-cut two of the Stitched Dolphins and used a blending brush to add Hippo dye ink from Lawn Fawn.  I made the edges of the dolphins darker than the center to create some interest.

I added a foiled sentiment I had on hand and included some Cantaloupe Pearls to finish this Tropical Island Getaway card.

I just love all the stitched detail on the die-cut waves and dolphins.  It really makes them stand out.
