I guess this comes under the heading of 'island elegance'! When I find my xacto knife, I'm going to trim that extra paper from the label behind the oval frame.
I made the palm tree by cutting out the shapes I needed from paper (trunk, 4 leaves, 2 coconuts) and using them as a mask when I sponged the background. Then I used the negative image to sponge in the shapes. I tried to define them using markers and the gel pen.
inspiration: the VSN challenge and a metal round frame by KandCo (Elizabeth Brownd)
paper: So Saffron
inks: garden green, artichoke, white, chocolate brown (all SU); Tim Holtz
Stamp Sets: Elegant Notes, Santa Post (for the numbers on the stamps), Club Scrap
other supplies:
stamp punch
white gel pen
brushed steel frame from making memories
offray ribbon
