For my first card today I used the fabulous new Fineapple Stamp set. I love this set because of the versatility of either using it as a layered stamp or simply coloring using just the outline, which is exactly what I chose to do!

I started off with a light blue piece of card stock.  Using just the outline stamp, I stamped the pineapple randomly onto my panel using copic friendly black ink. I colored my pineapples using mainly copics and added some detail with colored pencils. I also used one of the word images “Aloha” from this stamp set, and stamped using black ink randomly around my pineapples. Before adhering to my card base, I trimmed down my panel slightly smaller using the A2 Thin Frame Honey Cuts.

For my sentiment, I used white embossing powder and heat embossed on black cardstock.  I used thecoordinating die to cut out and rearranged three rectangles from the A2 Thin Frames Honey Cuts to place under my sentiment for more dimension and detail.  I then adhered my die cut sentiment on top using foam adhesive. I also used some Spring Lullaby Gem Stickers that matched perfectly around my sentiment.

For my next card I used the new Luau Stamp set and Wish You Were Here Sentiments Stamp Set.

I started out masking off a rectangle on Neenah White cardstock and stamping the images using black ink.  I then masked my images before ink blending a Hawaiian sunset using Distress Ink Oxides in Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Squeezed Lemonade.  I colored my images using various copic markers and again using my colored pencils for some extra detail.  I heat embossed my sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing powder and adhered to my panel using foam adhesive. I trimmed down my white panel and a piece of black cardstock  using the A2 Thin Frame Honey Cuts before adhering to my card base. I added some black and gold embellishments for a finished look.
