Hello! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Do you celebrate? The extent of my celebration is wearing a little green on that day! lol!
It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. Love today’s sketch challenge!
PARADISE PALMS
The New Horizons Designer Paper works perfectly with the Paradise Palms Bundle…don’t know why I didn’t get this DSP earlier! It is gorgeous in person!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock is embossed with the Bark Embossing Folder (I think it looks like waves!)
- Three 1-1/4 x 2-1/2 pieces of the New Horizons DSP were added to the background.
- The palm tree and grass were cut from Basic Black cardstock with the Palms Dies.
- The Happy Birthday from Paradise Palms was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Hippo & Friends Dies. It was popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the tree for the “coconuts” and a little bling!
I think I’m obsessed with these Palm dies! And doesn’t that DSP just look like a beautiful sunset? OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this sketch challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
