Aloha Friend Card by Andrea Shell

Aloha!

Today Andrea combines several fun products together in a unique way to create a vibrant tropical themed card! For stamp sets, she combined the koala from our Pina Koala Stamp Set with the big frame from our Tropical Fringe Stamp Set. She colored both of the images in fun bright colors using watercolor markers. Then, although the image from the Tropical Fringe Stamp Set is a big square frame, she instead cut it out to make a circle frame by using our new Circle Frames Die Set! What a creative idea and the image fits perfectly! She also used the scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set to layer another decorative circle behind it in lavender. The koala fits perfectly in the center after he is cut out using the coordinating Pina Koala Die Set.

For the card background she stenciled a background panel using our Serene Stripes Stencil with pink ink over light pink paper. Then she cut the panel out, using our Framework Die Set to give it a fun postage stamp edge. She finishes the layout by adding the sentiment "Aloha Friend" from the Tropical Fringe Stamp Set, adding it onto a circle that was cut out using the Circle Frames Die Set. She also embellishes two of the corners with die cut tropical leaves and a hibiscus flower using our Hibiscus Die Set.

What a wonderful way to combine all these items together for a gorgeous tropical card!
