SUOC 304: Tropical

Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge 304, where we have a tropical theme for you, and hope that you join us.

I have Friends Are Like Seashells and Oceanfront stamp sets on board, which are not tropical in nature, but I had make it work. I’m using my colors and the sand dollar image with a little starfish to pull this together.

I used what I have of Texture Chic products with the designer series paper and Memories & More pack.

As always, your shopping Supplies and Instructions, including measurements, are below.

I started out with an A2 top-folding card base and cut my image panel from Basic White Regular CS to 4 x 5-1/4, and rounded the right corners.

For the image panel blocks from Oceanfront, I stamped them off x3 and worked my way up with Soft Succulent, Mango Melody, and Petal Pink.

I stamped a rock and seabed images stamped off x2 with Smoky Slate from Oceanfront and the starfish from Friends Are Like Seashells.

I took the same large block image with Crumb Cake to Basic White CS, stamped the sand dollar image from Friends Are Like Seashells in Smoky Slate over the top, and cut from its coordinating die.

The sentiment was cut from a Texture Chic Memories & More card.

For final assembly, I adhered the image panel to the card base with liquid adhesive, as well as the DSP strips to the left.

I bowed up a length of our gold Simply Elegant Trim behind the sand dollar and adhered it to the left with double Stampin’ Dimensionals, as well as the sentiment panel.

Three white Elegant Faceted Gems were adhered to the sentiment and center of the sand dollar.

I love the texture lines of our Elegant Faceted Gems that are available in other colors.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and have a great day!
