Tropical Birthday Card

Hi there, welcome back!  Today I am hopping along with the Happy Inkin’ team, and we have a super fun sketch challenge!  It was my friend’s birthday and also he was about to go on a cruise, so I thought it would be fun to create a Tropical Birthday card using the Tropical Oasis Bundle.  Speaking of tropical places, I am also on a vacation in Cuba at the moment, but here is what I came up with.

Is this Tropical Birthday card so fun?  He loved it, so that made me happy.  To create this card I used Pear Pizzazz card base, than I used a 4 x 5-1/4 Tropical Oasis Designer Paper and adhered it on the card base.  Next I cut a 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 blue Tropical Oasis Designer Paper an adhered that on top of the previous layer.  I die cut a large circle and using created a sunset look by watercoloring it using Mango Melody, Terracotta Tile and some Pretty Peacock as the water on the bottom.  Once it dried, I adhered it on the card.

Next, stamped the palm trees using Old Olive and Soft Suede, die cut them and adhered them on the sunset circle.  I cut a 4 x 3/4 Designer Paper strip and adhered it on the card, cut a 4-1/2 Braided Burlap trip, frayed the ends and adhered it down using Tear & Tape.  Finally I stamped the sentiment using Pretty Peacock and cut it down to 2 x 1 and adhered it using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here is another look of the Tropical Birthday card using the Tropical Oasis Bundle.  I think this would make anyone happy!

And now it’s time to check out what the amazingly talented ladies created for this hop using the same challenge.  I can’t wait to see what you have created.   Your next stop is the talented Akiko Sudano!
