What a terrific gallery Becky has! After much enjoyable browsing, this is the one I chose to case: Paisley Palm by BeckyTE at Splitcoaststampers
I changed the stamps and the colors (slightly) but kept the general palm tree theme and layout.
The palm tree (Magenta) and sentiment (Stampendous) are stamped w/ the B&J rainbow pad onto vanilla. The top of the tree was stamped twice and a few of the fronds were cut out, layered and slightly popped up on top of the original. I cut around the top of the tree and attached to bordeaux c/s which had been stamped w/ a crackle stamp (Magenta) and bleach. Dots were done w/ a gold gel pen and it was edged w/ a gold Krylon.
The bg was done w/ one of those moldable foam stylus thingies (Clearsnap) and it was heated w/ a lightbulb and pressed against a paisley stamp (Stampendous). The plain foam tip was stamped around first using a pale yellow pigment ink, then a lt blue pigment ink. The paisley impressed tip was then stamped over these w/ a chianti (or which ever is the dk red in the petal point) and a darker blue.
I added the brads and attached all of this to a bordeaux colored note card. Highlights were drawn w/ a gold gel pen. TFL
