These two cards use images from the Tropical Fun Pack. Talk about a deal! This set has eleven different images in it for $4.00!

This first card uses the umbrella chair. I colored with Copic markers and used chalk for the background. Then I used a speckled background stamp in some dark brown ink to get the speckled look in the sand. I paper pieced the umbrella, but once I had it on there the underside looked weird, so I used a craft knife to cut out the top layer of the paper and then I used a marker to fill it in. You can see how it looks now below. The sentiment is computer generated.
(click to enlarge)The next card uses the same umbrella chair, but I cut it out and cropped off the umbrella. I paired it with the palm tree in the same set. Is it called a palm tree if there are coconuts in it or is it a coconut tree?
(click to enlarge)This one was colored the same way with copic markers and chalk. The sentiment was computer generated, and I hope you do have a fabulous day! Thanks for looking!

This is a really nice set and you did a great job. Perfect for this time of year. You sure are going to be a busy girl. Sometimes it is hard to get card done now, I hope you are happy with your new job.

Fantastic Holly! Love them both.
I know exactly how you feel about less time for papercrafting, but you just do what you can do. Lovin' these two that you made though. Makes me want to go on vacation!!!
These cards are wonderful! In fact my daughter saw them and she loved how you made the sand. :)
I really like your sand. It looks marvelous.
Hi Holly -
Love how the cards turned out. Cutting out the underside of the umbrella was perfect, it looks really awesome now. And don't worry about us, blog when you get the chance. We know how busy you are these days.

Holly I have not posted in two days and I am retired. Here you are working two jobs and running a home and you still have two wonderful cards. I think the biggest time eater I have is this computer.
These are wonderful cards.
