You Are My Sunshine

Aloha, everyone!  Since the weather has been hot and steamy lately, it's off to the tropics with a card using this week's sketch on Splitcoaststampers and some of this month's stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs.

Creative nugget:  Papers from the Boho Bolds and Cozy Quilt Collections were used on the card front.  Wild Honey Oxide Ink was sponged on the Sunburst Background and on the Double Stitched Circle panel.  Real stitching was added to the diagonal strip to carry through on the stitched element from the cut panels.  The Bird of Paradise from the Aloha stamp set from ODBD was colored with Copic Markers and cut with the coordinating Bird of Paradise Die.  A few Tropical Leaves and sequins were added to finish the card.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Looking Back at the ODBD July 2017 Release

Hello friends!  Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread Designs July 2017 Release!  For my sample I decided to create a tropical paradise.

Creative Nugget:  I recently purchased some of the new Color Burst colors which are beautiful and used them to watercolor a background for the island image in the Bon Voyage stamp set. The watercolored and stamped panels were cut to fit two parts of the Double Z card base.  Paper from the Boho Bolds Paper Pad was used for the third panel.  The Bird of Paradise flower from the Aloha stamp set was stamped three times, colored with Copic Markers and cut with the coordinating Bird of Paradise Die.  These flowers along with cut outs using the Frangipani Dies, Fern Dies, and Tropical Leaves Dies were used to create the border along the bottom of the card.

Sentiments from the Aloha stamp set were added to two of the panels and cut with a Mini Labels Die and a Pennant Flag Die. Pearls were used in the centers of the Frangipani flowers to finish the card.  Now...don't you wish you were there right now?
