Happy Friday! It's Jeanne today with a beautiful floral card celebrating friendship. The card features three dies from the new Tropical collection. I LOVE this collection - hibiscus flowers are one of my favorites followed by plumeria. Both are in this collection!

Pink Isn't Just a Color, It's an Attitude!
I created a simple background by blending a couple of different colors of Oxide Inks and bit of water. The bottom portion of my card was also splattered with some paint to replicate a sandy beach.
The adorable flamingo was placed on my card striking a contrast against the pop of color on the background.
The bold and fabulous surfboards were tucked into the sand and accented with the tropical palm die cuts.
The sweet sentiment was stamped on some inked up card stock and was the perfect addition to this card. I embellished the sentiment tag with a few more tropical palms and a tiny flower.

Seahorse & Sea Turtle
Hi!
It's Anja here. I have two cards for you today. I made a cute set with a Seahorse and a Turtle.
For this project I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Seahorse, Sea Turtle, Circle Set),
- Dye Inks,
- 2 white card bases (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- water color paper (2 14,2x14,2 cm),
- acrylic paint sprays (blue shades),
- sentiment stamps,
- acrylic block,
- black pigment ink,
- white pigment ink,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- Wink of Stella glitter pen,
- heat gun,
- adhesive foam pads,
- paper glue.
First I cut and colored the turtle. I used white pigment ink and a brush to emphasize some parts of the turtle. I also added a bit of glitter to it.
Next I cut and colored the seahorse.
Then I cut two paper stencils.
I put the stencil over the watercolor paper and sprayed it with acrylic spray paints. I used three shades of blue.
Next I removed the stencils and added a few drops of the lightest blue shade to add over the paper. I dried the paper with the heat gun.
After that I added some color to the edges of the background paper. I also stamped the sentiment.
When I had all the pieces ready I assembled the cards together. I added the turtle and the seahorse using adhesive foam pads for dimension. And my cards were done.
This is all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.
Anja Z.
