I am having a ball playing with these new tropical themed products this month! They are SO much fun and I love all the bright colors that you pretty much have to use with them :) For this card, I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Then I cut a Double Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics from Ranger watercolor paper and “painted” my background using Kraft dye ink, Summer Splash dye ink, and Blue Breeze dye ink, popped it up on foam mounting tape, then I built my sweet little scene using Tiki Party and Tiki Party Die-namics. I stamped the individual images with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored them with Copic markers, then added them to the oval, some popped up on foam mounting tape. I added a Blueprints 21 Die-namics and Daffodil card stock sun and a Sweet Tooth card stock and Cloud Cover-Up Cloud to round it out.
