Totally Tropical


Hey there.   Hope you haven't been affected by the high winds today.
It's a bit gusty here, but the goldfinches are still managing to cling onto their bird feeder.
They do love their seed ;-)

Today I'm sharing a bright Christmas card with you.


I used a rectangle nestie to cut a piece of card for a mask, and added a strip
where my sentiment would go.
Then, I stamped my snowflake ornament in some tropical colours.
I removed the mask to stamp the sentiment.
Because the design is a little fussy, I chose a very plain sentiment,
but just stamping it once looked a little odd,
so it got the triple treatment ;-)

A few sequins were the finishing touch.
 

I'd like to enter my card for 3 challenges.

52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - A One Layer Card
Merry Monday -  Non-Traditional Colours

Supplies.
Stamp from the Crafty Impressions, Christmas Baubles Set.
Inks - Memento Dandelion / Tangelo   Versacolor Mint  Papermania Pink
Sentiment WPlus9 Heartfelt Holidays.   Sequins.
