I called this card uninhabited island, because I can never remember if it is desserted or deserted. I didn't want you to think I was going to a chocolate island or something like that...although that would be a great summer activity. I was inspired for this card by the sunset that my sons and I saw the other night. There were columns of color in the sky. It was very interesting. Because of the job that I have, I didn't get away this summer. Not even for a day. I think it would be fun to go where there were no phones... no truck drivers... no problems... but I would have to have my computer so I could check in to see what was happening at SCS.
I wanted this to look like a stain glass window. I stamped the tree (The tree has a Changito monkey... poor little guy I cut him off.) I cut out the tree, colored it with prisma colored pencils. I stamped a second tree and put 4 of the leaves on dimensionals. I traced a circle and used my ruler to draw lines radiating from the island. I masked off the lines and sponged different colors of blue. I took a white ribbon and made it variegated using the inks that I used on the card. I added my little suitcase as a tag and I wonder if I get Bonus, Bonus points for there being a little tag on the tag.

What a very cool design here. I love your sunset here. Love that you and your sons saw a lovely sunset and that it inspired you to make this card. We might not always get to get away, unless it's Tuesday, but at least we have our cards to escape into. Super fine card here. TFS :0)
