Happy Monday!
For my Inspired by Stamping post today, I am sharing a card using the new
release Plumerias
stamp set along with the Tropical Paradise
stamp set.

Let’s take a look at my fun technique card:
I wanted to try a ‘split scene’ for awhile
now and thought this image from Tropical Paradise
would be perfect for it. This card gives me the feeling of looking through a paned
window.

I started by stamping the island image and
sea gulls with black hybrid ink on a 3 x 4 piece of mixed media paper. Distress
Inks were used for water coloring. Once this was dry, I cut it lengthwise into
1 inch strips and matted them onto 1¼ x 4¼ strips of black card stock. They are
a perfect fit for a 4¼ x 5½ card.

The big, bold Paradise, from the Plumerias stamp set, and
some baker’s twine finish the front of the card.

Of course, a tropical scene needed to be on
the inside as well:

After stamping the images and sentiment, I
did a light water coloring around the edges. The images from Tropical Paradise
and sentiments from Plumerias coordinate so well.
