Surf's Up

Hello and welcome!  Today I've got more inspiration to share from Scrappy Tails Crafts Tropical Bliss release.  So many great products absolutely perfect for summer cards.


For my card I used six different products from the Tropical Bliss release.  If you want to check those goodies out first head HERE.

First I cut out many surfboards using the Tropical Bliss paper pad and dies from the Tiki Hut Surf Shop add-on set.


Next I grabbed the Aztec stencil, some lime green ink and a blending brush.  I used a slightly darker green ink to add a bunch of splatters.


I cut a navy piece of cardstock and got out the Zig Zag stencil.  I used a gold pigment ink to lightly add detail to the navy cardstock with an ink dauber.  Then I glued all of the surfboard pieces to the panel.  

Once they were all in place, I cut off everything that hung past the edges.  Then I splattered it all with diluted gold acrylic paint.



Next I cut a few leaves using the Tropical Leaves Assortment dies from lime and navy cardstock.  On the navy leaves I added a generous amount of shimmer with the Nuvo Glitter Gloss pen.  While those pieces dried I cut out the Aloha sentiment in gold foil cardstock from the A7 Aloha Tropical Leaves cover die.  There is also a shadow layer die included in the set and I cut it from heavy vellum. 

I used a liquid glue to add the gold letters to the vellum.  I played around with the placement of the tropical leaves and glued in place.  On top of that I added the Aloha sentiment.



As always, thanks for visiting!
