I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the basket weave when I finished it, so I did the weave on basic white. I had a few mess-ups, strategically covered up with embellishments, but it was fun and I will do it again if I have time and when the card calls for it. When I finished the weave, I put So Saffron DTP all over and added shading with a Crushed Curry Marker.
I had the chameleon stamp (from a past Valentine Paper Pumpkin kit) on my worktable as a leftover for the Valentine cards I made for my students, he seemed to fit the theme, so he got to be part of the tropical scene. The palms are also DTP on white with Garden Green.
