Tropical Paradise & Island Getaway Aloha card by Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today with a card featuring Island Getaway and Tropical Paradise. This card has me wishing I was headed to Hawaii! There are so many cute images in both of these stamp sets, and they work really well together also!  Let's get started!

To begin, I cut a piece of black and white patterned paper to an A2 size. I then cut a solid piece of pink cardstock to 5 1/2" x 3 3/4". This left a quarter of an inch of the striped paper showing on either side of the pink cardstock. Finally, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5 1/2" x 3 1/2". I did my stamping on the white panel. I simply picked out some tropical images from each set that I thought looked cute together. I then arranged them on my white cardstock and stamped them down. I colored the images using Copic markers. I tried to use lighter shades for this card to keep it nice and airy. I outlined all the images using a light blue Copic marker and added some Wink of Stella for a little shine! 

That's it! This card was fun to make because I got to use so many cute images from both sets. Keep checking back to the blog for more inspiration. I hope I've inspired you to try your own collage card. I can't wait to see what you create! Have a great day!

Tropical Paradise - Cheers to you by Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!   Today's card features the great summer set Tropical Paradise and the matching die set! I love this set because of all the yummy cocktails in it.

I started with some ink blending through a swirl stencils which reminds me of waves in the ocean. I used a very soft turquoise ink and a very light hand.  I stamped the images with Versafine and embossed them with clear embossing powder. Once again I used watercolors to color the images, it seems I get used to them. To ground the images I stamped the sentiment on a stripe of paper and positioned the glasses on it. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week!
