Tropical Chic Card for an 18th Birthday!

Hello there,
Today is my hubbys birthday but, true to form, I was up 'till late last night making his card so I don't have that photographed yet to show you ;-) Instead I have a card I made for my friends daughters birthday recently using the Tropical Chic stamp set and some glittery numbers, of course...

I decided on a wreath pattern using the leaves from the stamp set in Tranquil Tide, then I added some die cut flowers which I inked first with Flirty Flamingo then I added some Lovely Lipstick ink using a sponge dauber to get this two tone effect.

I layered up the 18 using matching Lovely Lipstick card before topping it with some glittered numbers.

Add a touch of tinsel trim and a few sequins to finish today's card :-)

So, that's all from me for today. I'm going to try really hard to write another post this evening, ready for Sunday but it's going to be a busy old day here :-)
I'll definitely be back really soon though as I have tons f cards to share,
Happy Stampin!

Colour Challenge with Tropical Chic for Inspire. Create Challenges.

Hello!
And welcome to another challenge with Inspire. Create. Challenges.
It's a super summery colour combo this week with Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist. It reminds me of the Caribbean and cocktails in coconuts... *dreams*

So for this colour challenge I really took the bull bull by the horns and fully embraced these colours so my card is super vibrant which is different for me, I know, but I kinda like it ;-)
Lets see the card shall we, I used Tropical Chic which I must admit I'm finding it really hard to put this set down right now! I just want to use it for everything...

 Love this little die that gives you a leafy window.
TIP: To make the Lemon Lime Twist layer show under the Bermuda Bay top layer simply turn by a quarter.

 I added some stamped, tiny leaves at the bottom of the card front before adding the sentiment strip.
TIP: Use versamark on any coloured card (not white or vanilla) for a subtle look. You don't have to have every ink pad colour {right away} ;-)

Finish with a Melon Mambo leaf and a few clear sequins (from my stash)

 What a fun colour combo. You can see what the rest of the DT have made HERE on the challenge blog which is where you can also upload your creations too! Please do join us in this fun challenge, we'd love to see what you create with it!
Thanks so much for looking today!

Tropical Chic for a Colour Challenge

Hello!
Apologies for not managing to post on here yesterday. We had a DIY weekend with a million jobs to do and well, I managed to do the important jobs but still not all of them, lol!
Anyway, back to cards today. I made this card as part of a challenge that one of my lovely team mates is organising, inspiring us to use new colours. I also went to town and used lots of new products choosing the Tropical chic bundle, the Bokeh backgrounds stamps and finally the Little Twinkle stamps to make this card...

Now, I usually say I'm not really an orange or yellow kind of person (although I do like a bit of mustard in home decor) but I often find I like the end result when I'm pushed out of my comfort zone ;-)

I used a sponge dauber to add the darker Pumpkin Pie around the Pineapple Punch flowers as well as to parts of the Bokeh background too.

The tiny stars and the sentiment are from the Little Twinkle set.
I like a simple layered card but I don't like to see the "workings" inside (also my prefered style of top folding makes adding ribbon or thread running top to bottom tricky) so...
TIP: I used a layer of thick white card just 2 mm smaller than the card base - 10.3cm x 14.6cm to stamp on before adding to a card base 1(0.5mm x 14.8mm.)

Finally, I finished with a few tiny sequins. I love the Iridescent Sequin Assortment as there is a great selection of sizes in there.

So, are you an orange and yellow kind of person or not so much?
 Either way, I do hope you have enjoyed today's card at least as much as I enjoyed making it :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
