This morning when I woke up, I walked into my craft room, as I often do, and found I still had some of extra pieces from the February Paper Pumpkin kit on my desk.  I also had parts of  the coordinating SAB stamp set, "Happy Birthday To You" laying in a basket waiting...... So I started playing around with the bits and pieces and came up with this card. CLICK HERE FOR A LIST OF THE SUPPLIES USED Funny thing is, one of the pieces from the Paper Pumpkin kit I planned on using, I ended up not using but had chose the  Pretty Peacock cardstock as my card base because of it.  The background layer is Petal Pink . I colored the flowers with my Stampin' Blends in Petal Pink and Old Olive . The Petal Pink layer is die cut with the second largest die from the "Stitched Rectangles" dies.  The flowers in the upper corner are from the Happy Birthday stamp set, die cut with the coordinating "Birthday " dies. The colors I used are Pretty Peacock,...

This month I'm featuring the Tropical Oasis Suite    I love Hibiscus flowers, since my first visit to Florida for my 50th birthday.  My cousin had them growing in his back yard.  Somewhere I have a photo of me next to the tree. The tree was lost long gone to Katrina and well, I've changed as well.  :-) I do love this suite!  I have plans to use it with a couple other sets, Tropical Chic stamp set and the coordinating Tropical dies  which are still in the current catalog.  A couple other retired sets I'm going to pair this with is "Humming Along" and "Botanical Blooms".
