Paradise Palms Retirement Card


This retirement card is for two challenges. 

First, I've used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches#679 here.

Then the colors are for As You See It#285 here. The colors to use are Starry Sky, Parakeet Party, Mango Melody and Basic Black.

I started by using one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks to create the colorful background with inks and Blending Brushes.

Paradise Palms is the stamp set with some 2022-2024 In Color DSP.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Paradise Palms

Papers: White, Black, Parakeet Party, 2022-2024 In Color DSP

Inks: Black, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky, Mango Melody

Accessories: Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, Blending Brushes, Stylish Shapes dies, Rectangle Stitched dies, Layering Circles dies, Stampin dimensionals

How beautiful! I really like the stencilled background as it adds a tropical feel without being over the top and so makes a perfect backdrop for the focal image. Very cleverly done! Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It Challenge.

Love this, Jennie, I didn't even think about how perfect our colors turn out to be for a gorgeous tropical scene! Love that background stenciling, too! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!

Jennie, I feel as if I'm on a bungalow porch, looking out on the ocean through a circular porthole! The stencilling is such a great idea, giving such a light, airy look, while still using the challenge colours, and the Paradise Palms is such a great choice of stamps. Thanks for getting colourful with us at As You See It Challenges!

Jennie your circle design acts as a window onto that beautiful sunset and totally draws me in - I want to be there!! I think the aspect of your car that I like the most those is that graduated stencilled background - so creative and really effective. Thanks for playing along with our colour challenge over at As You See It this week!
