Hello, crafty friends! I hope you are enjoying all the amazing inspiration on the Pretty Pink Posh June release blog hop thus far – I know I am! My project today features Tropical Toucans paired with the Tropical Frame. This card really screams SUMMER and since it’s been 90 degrees in Orange County, California for the past few days, I would have to say that ‘summer is here!’

To start my card, I stamped, colored and die cut as I usually do. Today, I stamped with brown ink onto Bristol smooth paper and colored with Arteza real brush pens.

I sent my colored images aside and die cut the Tropical Frame die onto a blue green card stock. This die cut will frame my entire card.
Next, I inkblended onto Bristol card stock using Distress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Peacock feathers from the center out. I stamped the sentiment that came with Tropical Toucans onto the middle.

To assemble the card, I put a ton of foam tape on the back of the frame and adhered it to the ink blended piece. I adhere this entire thing to an A2 card base.
Lastly, I adhered all my images onto the card with foam tape and my card is finished!

This hop is so cool because each of you have put your own spin on the products. Your card is sooo beautiful. Don’t you just love those inks for blending backgrounds.? Your work is always so inspiring.
Your card uses the same supplies, but is so totally different from all the others on this hop. You did a great job. Thank you for sharing.
