Just Another Day In Paradise

Hello crafters!  I cut the background die from the Beach Palm Trees Stained Glass out of aqua card.  I attached it to a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet attached to it.  The exposed adhesive was filled in with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I cut the centre die ring from the set out of white card and layered it in the middle of the background piece with foam.  Next I cut the Palm Trees out of white card.  I used Distress inks and smoothies to ink the palm trees, water and sand, leaving the border edge white.  I used a piece of Pixie Sparkled card from my background stash as a backing piece.  It was made with Teal Marine Pixie Sparkles and glued it to the back of the inked die cut.  I added it to the centre of the decorative ring with mounting foam.  I cut a larger piece of white card and attached it to the top, then added the Just Another day In Paradise to the lower portion.  I added a pink hibiscus with a yellow centre next to it as an accent.  The hibiscus came from the Tropical Hibiscus set.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
That mound of sand and those palm trees have a reserved sign with my name on, just need my books my pina colada and I'll be well away. The beach may hold my dreams, but the beautiful design has Sue Wilson stamped all over it. Its just perfect for a couple getting married abroad with the change or added wedding mini sentiment, or for a lucky couple spending a special anniversary in paradise, whatever the occasion you have given us so many mini expression dies etc to make the stained glass beach theme work.
Hope everyone is OK, it's strange not reading a post from Muriel for an absolute age, hoping Donna is OK and I've noticed Pauline has returned which is lovely to see. Sending love to all that pop in today xxx

Pauline Austen said...

Hi Sue, this sentiment was our daily comment when waking up in South Africa so this card brings back many happy memories of our times there which have sadly come to an end.
However, it means more crafting time spent now, hopefully making lovely cards like this.

This card reminds me of better days both ahead and in the past at the beach. Today is a dreary, wet day and wishing I was there now.
Hope everyone, gets a little sunshine today,

Hi Sue and everyone, a beautiful card today, definitely makes me dream of holidays abroad. Not ready to go off on holiday yet, even though I miss the sun and our home from home lol.
The palm trees look fab, gorgeous colouring Sue.
Yes im okay Steph, thank you, im just not getting my email reminders so dropping in very late and sometimes having to catch up on a day or two.
Hugs Donna xx
