This week we are sponsored by STAMPlorations... be sure to check out the CASology blog for all the details!
My family and I are looking forward to a tropical vacation later this summer to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and we all plan to pack our sandals! Yes, when I think of tropical, I think of flip-flops! (I also think of flowers and fruity drinks and floral patterns and beaches and umbrellas and sand and swimming...so many wonderful ways to take this cue!)
These cute images are both free digis by Neat & Tangled found HERE. I printed the image and sentiment directly on my card as well as onto several different patterned papers and I fussy cut the flip flops to paper-piece them onto my card. (I made several versions while I was at it!) I'm entering these cards into the Little Tangles Challenge #54: Anything Goes since I used their images!I purposely used a seafoam green card base...it reminds me of the cue, too. I added Glossy Accents to the hearts for some fun!
Here is a second version, but with another layer and some dry embossing to resemble waves.
OK, then! Let's get TROPICAL! Be sure to link up your TROPICAL card by noon on Monday (Central time). Our Design Team and Guest Designer have some very creative cards for the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!

ReplyDeleteOh, what a fun bunch of cards. Definitely sets the mood for a tropical vacation. I'd like a pair of polka dotted flip flops just like yours.
ReplyDeleteYour card totally jumped out at me from the gallery, Judy. Love the fun tropical colours (seafood green card base?)! These cards just make me happy. So where are you guys off to for your tropical holiday?
ReplyDeleteHa, you stinker...you caught that one "auto-corrected" mistake before I could change it to "seafoam green!" You never cease to make me laugh, Jen!
DeleteFabulous card Judy, I have not checked N&T digi's lately. I love how you rocked them! What paper do you use in your printer. My printer does not like PTI paper.
ReplyDeleteJudy, LOVE the summer lovin' bright colors, so FUN Judy!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJudy, I love both the cards. The colors are cheerful and I always love a touch of embossing folders.
ReplyDeleteSo fun and summery, Judy ... and such adorable polka dot flip flops ... these are both fabulous! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteoh these cards are beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeleteThese cards are a lot of fun Judy! Celebrating 20 years is certainly cause for celebration! That's just wonderful! I can't pick a favourite between these two cards. I love your colour choice for both and also the way you have incorporated your dry-embossing.
