Thank you, Vicki, for selecting such a fun technique! I love piercing paper - it really adds the perfect finishing touch.
The palm trees come from a soon-to-be-available Stampin'Up! Summer Mini catalog set called Tropical Party. I used Old Olive and Soft Suede markers for coloring the palm trees. The sun was created from a 1/2 inch circle punched in a post-it to use as a mask for sponging Summer Sun ink. I lightly sponged Bashful Blue and Creamy Caramel inks along the lower half of my main panel. The sentiment comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes and was lined up with a StampAMaJig. The background paper is from the Welcome Neighbor SAB paper pad and is popped up with dimensional popdots. Melon Mambo ribbon and paper piercing finish off the card.
It's been so long since I played in the challenges - .... what was I thinkin'??? It was so relaxing and FUN! I'm off to make another challenge card!! tee hee...
Thank You for taking a closer peek at my card - I hope You have a super day...
