The first day of teasers features this wonderful set, Paradise Island! Kim our fearless leader/owner/designer of Artful Inkables stamps truly lets her magic shine with this cute tiki- themed set! Your Copics, Prismacolor pencils, watercolors, whatever your coloring methods of choice are going to be loving this darling line drawn set. It's an absolutely MUST for luaus, house warmings, scrapbooking tropical vacations, to name only of few of the uses for this very versatile set! Can you tell I'm lovin' it!!! My card started with a base of Blue Bayou CS that was layered with a strip of Bo Bunny striped paper then Groovy Guava CS that I tore and glittered the edges with a peach Art Glitter to get a sand dune type of effect. No, I wasn't trying to make Guava colored sand but I thought the effect looked nice with the theme of this card. For the focal image, I stamped this cute little hut that would make the castaways on Gilligan's Island jealous (dating myself, huh) with my Momento Tuxedo Black ink then colored it with Copic markers. After cutting it out with Nestabilities, I matted it with a scalloped oval of Aqua Mist CS from PTI. The sweet hibiscus blossom is from the set, stamped on Groovy Guava then cut out. Next, I painted it with Pumpkin Shimmerz (love that stuff) and added some texture and more sparkle with Fruit Punch and Yellow Stickles. The ribbon is Always Artichoke by SU and the little brads are from Hobby Lobby. Be sure to check tomorrow for the next sneak peak of this awesome Artful Inkables release!!! It's ALWAYs A Stampin' Good Time! Take care!
