Tropical Playtime

The Tropical Escape Suite is Right. Up. My. Alley.

Holy Moly. These stamps, the DSP, the accessories – they speak my language! I love the splash of Blushing Bride mixed in with all of the green tones. These leaves are growing in my back yard – literally – and the thinlit shapes are gorgeous. This is a set I’ll keep!

Stamps: Tropical Chic, Itty Bitty Greetings
Color Palette: Whisper White, Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Flirty Flamingo
Accessories: Big Shot, Tropical Escape DSP, Tropical Thinlits, Layering Circles Framelits, Duet Banner Punch, Linen Thread, Tropical Elements, Pearl Jewels, Sponge Daubers, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I had such fun with the details. I used a sponge dauber to add a little Flirty Flamingo ink to the center of the flower. The thinlits cut out the stamped images, but there are also dies to cut detailed leaves out of cardstock. The possibilities are endless.

The Designer Series Paper is Buy 3, Get One Free for the rest of July. I purchased multiple packages.

Using this darker DSP in the background completely changed the feeling of the card. The designs are gorgeous, and can stand on their own as a card front with minimal embellishment. (I was not feeling minimalistic.)

As you can see, I just kept going! I didn’t know that I needed Tropical Elements until I opened the package, but now I’m convinced. I think they look particularly smashing with Linen Thread (everything looks smashing with Linen Thread.)
