Colorful Tropics

 

Happy Friday! I was busy vacation planning yesterday, so I was inspired to pull out my Aloha stamp set and make this card. 

I cut a piece of Pure Luxury white card stock to 4 by 4 inches, then sponged some Memento Cantaloupe ink where I wanted the sun. 

I masked over the sun with a 1 inch circle, cut using Nestabilities. Then I sponged more Cantaloupe ink. 

Then I sponged Memento Angel Pink ink around the yellow. 

Sponged  a band of Memento Lulu Lavender above and below the pink. 

Sponged Memento Summer Sky ink at the top. 

Deepened the color of the sky by sponging a lightly with Memento Danube Blue. 

I masked the bottom with sticky notes and sponged lightly with Danube Blue to create the horizon line. 

 Sponged above the blue, very lightly with Memento Rose Bud. This time I used the smaller sponge daubers to keep the horizon from getting too bulky.

I added some clouds by sponged lightly with Memento Grape Jelly. 

Removed the mask and stamped the palm trees, from Aloha, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I used Copic markers to color, starting with YG97. 

 Added YG99 to deepen the shading at the base of each stem.

 Started with E59 on the trunks.

Added E49. 

I stamped the palm fronds, from Vogue Vases, using Memento Bamboo Leaves ink. 

 Then I stamped the seagulls, from By The Sea, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onxy and used Pure Luxury Ocean Mist for the card base. The finished card size is 5 by 5 inches. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
