You are probably wondering why this belongs with the SC 134 challenge. Trust me it does. The layout idea got stretched and bent a little. The base of the card where the grass actually is a card 5-1/2" x 1-3/4" card. My tent topper, or maybe I should say tent toppers are the palm trees.
The palm fronds are made from the large oval punch, with little horizontal slot bites taken out of them. The palm tree trunks were cut free-hand and were rubbed against the small scallop edge of the seeing spots brass stencil. Then rubbed with a sponge dauber and close to cocoa ink. The banana bunch holder is a scallop circle punched out of vellum and folded in from the sides. The crazy grass is the bananas stamped over and over again, cut out in strips and layered.
Thanks for looking and thanks for another great challenge!

Ok...I've always thought cloning was kinda trying to play God, but now I finally understand why we need the technology. We need to clone your brain and implant some in every stamper!! Love love love the palm fronds, the tree trunks (how ingenious) and the banana grass!! This whole thing is astonishing and so very adorable. I was thinking of selling this set, but now have to reconsider that thought.
