Do two bad photos make for a good post? Hey, it's better than nothing right? These two went really wrong! The first one is terribly out of focus and the other, too dark and for some reason at the wrong angle and I can't figure out how to fix it - sigh... I put the sideways photo in so you could see the detail better.
The goal for this card was to make a fun, and again, not too feminine Birthday Card since it was for my sisters step brothers 30th birthday which was actually in Hawaii! I was so excited to use this set! I think the coconut is "sweet!" I just stamped it in Soft Suede ink, colored in the umbrella with Stampin' Write markers, cut it out and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The rest of the images in this set are pretty versatile. You can see the palm frond used as a background on the Tempting Turquoise base and of course the coconut trees on the front. It also comes with two great hibiscus-type flowers! This is a set that will "retire" as of Aug. 31 when the mini catalog switches from Summer to Holiday.
The coordinating DSP, Island Oasis, is great as well using the colors: Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Rose Red and Old Olive. :) Yum!! What a combination!!
Another note: the "It's Your Day... ENJOY" sentiment popped up on the oval on the front and the "Let's Celebrate" stamped in between the palm fronds on the base of the card are both from the "On Your Birthday" stamp set in the big Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog.
