Stamp Focus: Totally Tropical

Hello everyone! Sveta is here and I'm ready to focus on the newest Totally Tropical stamp set!

I can't get enough of the tropical theme so I'm over the moon that this release brought us two tropical sets!

I made my first card unexpectedly vintage and distressed.

First I stamped a bouquet using masking technique with Jet Black Crisp Dye Ink and Espresso Crisp Dye Ink.

After all stamping is done I took a blending tool to tone card borders with Rocky Shore Crisp Dye Ink  and leaves with Moss Crisp Dye Ink.

For the card panel I used Spicy Yogurt cardstock along with the Dark Chocolate cardstock for the card base.

The second card is also brownish but this time due to kraft. I took Parchment cardstock as a card base.

This time I heat embossed images of flowers and leaves with the Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder. I fussy cut them and placed in a composition.

This composition was actually made as a layout for the main image – a giraffe from the Baby Zoo set.

Finally I combined sentiments from the both sets and added some sequins.

The third card is the most traditional for me. I took a piece of watercolor paper and heat embossed flowers and leaves composition on it using the Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder.

Then I used watercolor markers and some water to color up this composition and added a sentiment die-cut made using Thanks die.

Hope you got inspired today!
