Hawaiian Birthday

Hey everyone!  If ever I needed to dream about warmer, sunnier weather it would be today.  It's March 15th and we are currently having a blizzard.  A blizzard!!  Apparently March is determined to go out like a lion.  Sigh.  Will winter never end?  Okay that's enough of my whining.  At least it's not as cold as it was.

Anyway, today's card is one that makes me think of a fun tropical vacation somewhere.  Like Hawaii!  I'd love to go to Hawaii.  It's one of the places my husband and I have on our travel bucket list.  :-). Here's my card...


So in used an old stamp by Stampcraft that has four different stamps on the same block.  I've always liked the Hawaiian shirt stamp.  I stamped it in four bright colours then fussy cut them out.  I took a square piece of white cardstock and scored lines on it.  I matted this With black and attached to my white card base.  I stamp the sentiment (STAMPlorations) in black.  Then I attached my shirts with some foam dots.  I think it turned out rather fun!  :-)

I'm linking up to the following challenges:

Time Out Challenge - inspiration picture below.  I was inspired by the brightly coloured frames and the white panel wall behind them.


CAS-ology - cue card is "Tropical"

Thanks so much for dropping by for a visit and I hope you have a fantastic day!

  2. Love how you scored the background paper to give it some extra dimension. It looks like a panelled wall. Great job fussy cutting those bright hawaiian shirts!
