In this challenge, we were to change AT LEAST 3 things and explain our changes.
I changed:
1. The color combination (I'm totally out of WHITE!)
2. The Cuttlebug embossing folder.
3. Added layers
4. Added Dots (She had piercing!)
5. The stamp set...I love that set, just don't have it!
Since my FIL lives in the Florida Keys, (tough life, right?LOL), I decided to made this card for him! Besides, Speedy the Cat had both of these stamp sets under the Bath Mat this morning...I kept looking at them trying to get the meaning, and then it hit! Combine the tree from Dino Day with the coconut drink from Life's a Picnic! WOW! It worked!
The images were stamped and then colored with SU! markers.
I used daubers to heavily sponge Real Red onto the Pumpkin Pie layers.
The Cuttlebugged embossing was done with Swiss dots. To highlight the dots, I rubbed an ink pad (tone on tone) over the raised dots.
The dots were made with a marker and Inkssentials pen.

Great card, and beautiful colors for a person who lives in the sunshine state! PS At first I thought your story was gonna be that you made a pickle tree! I thought it might be the beginning of a pickle card duel (see mothermark). You all have been known to start somethin' like that . . . Then I noticed the coconuts and said "whew"!!! LOL
Love this one, Faith - it's real artistry!
