Pineapples and Flamingos

Hello All,
 
I am just following on from last weeks post from Daring Cardmakers as I was so inspired by the elemental inspiration image that I created a couple more projects using the Tropics Wild and Free Set from Spellbinders and Debi Adams.
 
 
 
 
I used the same technique using twinkling h2o's to create the background.  Just by adding the colour to my craft sheet and spritzing with water and pressing down with a sheet of plain white cardstock.

 
I then used the Tropics Wild and Free die set from Debi Adams and Spellbinders to create the pineapples.  I had a little fun and made them in glitter card to match the background.

 
I love how the backgrounds are never the same even though I used the same technique.  The flamingo you see above also comes in the set along with some tropical leaves.

 

 

 
I had so much with this set I then went on to create a matching banner.
 
 
To create the banner base I used Celebrations Pierced Circles from Spellbinders.  I inked up the centre of the white cardstock using yellow and blue to give it a beach feel.

 
I then added some summer themed words using an old alphabet stamp set I had stashed away.


 
 I alternated the images with flamingos and pineapples in lovely bright colours and added a few sequins to finish.
 
 
The banner would make a great addition to a tropical themed party.  Or just to hang up in a summer house or porch to celebrate the season.

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day.
