Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for taking Tropical Oasis metallic. The inspiration came from a candle in my office.
I added Pretty Peacock and Basic Black for a little spice.
The card on the left is stepped up from the clean and simple card on the right.
The above card is 4-1/4 x 6-1/2 using a card base from the Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. I matted the 4 x 6 card from the pack onto a piece of 4-1/8 x 6-1/8 Basic Black CS. I stacked the dies 3x each with the lower pineapple in Basic Black with the pineapple top in Gold Foil Sheets for great dimension. There 2 layers under the Gold Foil Sheet is some very old gold CS that we used to carry about a decade ago.
I die-cut 3 Vellum leaves from another die in the Tropical Oasis Suite and adhered them to the right of the pineapple with Linen Thread tied into a bow. The sentiment was stamped in Pretty Peacock, fussy cut, and I added the scallop trim from Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon. The sentiment strip was adhered with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and I tucked a little hibiscus trinket under the left corner.
The clean and simple card is another card that can be mailed internationally that also incorporates a little Pretty Peacock in the sentiment.
Sometimes you have to let the genie out of the bottle and taking what you can non-traditional is part of the fun. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Have a great day and God bless.
