DT: Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge… tropical

Hello!

Time to get tropical for this months CAS challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

I will start with a quick reminder of the rules…

Clean and Simple design with one focal point, lots of white (or open) space and minimal layers and embellishments

Probably for this one I added more than might be considered clean and simple but I just felt it needed the border stamping to finish off.

So for tropical I wanted to use the pineapple Lawn Fawn stamp and for some reason fancied a diagonal layout. I did a bit of planning for all the themes and this is one I had planned out in advance.

I stamped the pineapples and then watercoloured them using distress inks.

Once they were dry I added the border stamping using a BadAss Art Chick stamp.

Then I stamped the shades and die cut those to add to the cool pineapple on the end.

Once I had added the shades I added glossy accents to make them shiny!

Next I chose the hello stamp and die set from Avery Elle to finish off!

For the envelope I did simple stamping of the pineapple in green down the side of the envelope.

So a fun and I think definitely tropical card for this months CAS challenge.

Happy crafting!
