Aloha

 Hello friends

Today I wanted to make a different shaped card.  I have a note book where I list all ideas that I see from social media that I might want to try and if I'm feeling a bit uninspired I use this to spark some imagination.

This time I chose a cute (if not small) rocker card design, using a stamping Bella favourite of mine.  I just adore the squishies and when they come in tropical dress, its just too irresistible not to use.

Ingredient list

• Stamps
• Stamping Bella - tropical squidgies
• MFT Polynesian paradise (for the pineapple, flowers and sentiment) 
• Ink - Lawn fawn alcohol friendly ink
• Coloured with - copics and Spectrum noir triblend brush markers
• Dies
• Tattered lace basic circle shape
• Spellbinders large doily die
• Finishing touches - Tonic shimmer pen and Ranger glossy accents

I stamped the image onto my card stock and coloured it in.  Instead of cutting around the image this time I used a basic circle die and mounted it on some patterned paper from my stash (is a scrap of Digi paper so not sure where its from sorry!).

I then die cut the large doily die and scored down the middle causing a fold to form the card base.  As I layered it together I realised it needed some framing, so I used another of my favourite tropical stamp sets and used it to make the floral wreath and pineapple.  I also thought the aloha sentiment was perfect from the MFT set too.  I stamped and embossed in white on a scrap of black and cut the flag shape for interest.

I hope this sunshine filled card makes you smile today!
