Island Getaway Salty Kisses Card with Lexa

Happy Fri-YAY everyone!  

Lexa is here today, and this is my first post as a Sunny Studio Stamps Design Team. I'm super excited to be here. And here I am sharing a happy summer card with you..

I use a stamp set called Island Getaway with a monkey in a pink polka-dot bikini sending salty kisses to you.  How cute is that?  She's having a great time on a private island I bet.
I stamped wavy borders on blue cardstock and layered them together. I also wanted to create a sun to complete my scene, so I just die-cut a stitched circle on yellow cardstock.

I left white borders as I blended the blue sky using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, masking off the border with low tac tape. The "salty kisses" sentiment is stamped on pink patterned paper to match the monkey's bikini and is attached with foam tape.

My last touch is pretty sequins.  I looove how it turned out. This stamp set is so summer-y with so many fun details and cute sentiments.

Thanks for looking and wishing you a great day!

Tropical Paradise My Sunshine Flamingo Card with Vanessa

Hi everyone!  Vanessa here with my very first post on the Sunny Studio Blog. I am so happy to be here and hope to inspire you :)

For my card, I played with my new favorite stamp set Tropical Paradise. I love all the elements of this set:

Sunny Studio Stamps: Flamingo Card by Vanessa Menhorn (using Tropical Paradise, Sweet Script, Sunshine Word die and heart from Sunny Borders dies).

I started with a card base made from kraft cardstock. Then I trimmed a piece of watercolor paper slightly smaller than the card and inked the middle with kraft ink. Now I applied drops of gold and pearl spray ink and adhered the panel to the card. I stamped and colored the flamingos, cut them out and adhered them with foam tape. Then I die-cut the "sunshine" and the heart from gold glitter cardstock and adhered them. Finally, I stamped "my" using Sweet Script Stamps.

I hope you like my first card! Thank you so much for visiting!
