"In a world that needs more dancing, she's a hula girl at heart" - Jimmy Buffett
For our 1000th color challenge I chose some of my favorite colors, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Orchid Oasis from challenge 909 and dessert - summer! I also chose a challenge where I had an underlying theme of music; all my cards from August of 2022 were in this theme.
I bought this stamp because it's so sweet and reminds me of my youngest daughter (now 30) whose first dance recital at 3 was "Hula Baby". There is no sight cuter than 3 year olds doing the hula. She kept dancing right up until she went to college. The quote above fits her to a tee - she's still that adorable 3 year old dancing the hula! If you don't know the song "Hula Girl at Heart" it's worth a listen, especially if you have a daughter.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends and Copic markers to color match. I added some neutrals - browns and Mossy Meadow. I used the Orchid and the Daffodil to get various shades of the green.
I cut the palm frame once from the white and layered it with two cut from the Orchid Oasis. I also layered the extra leaves with the Orchid. I like the added shadow it gave the white.
The sentiment was made with my label maker and finished with a pink heart.
I hope you will join us in the challenges this week. I would especially love to see your summer inspired creations!

Jeanne, your Hula Girl is just so adorable! I love how you surrounded her with the tropical leaves. Great idea to create your own greeting, and the little heart is a perfect finishing touch! I'm really gonna miss you . . . .
