OWH Challenge – Hot Tropics

By Yvonne

Patterned papers – Graphic 45 “Tropical Travelogue Collection: Island Jewel” (floral and green giraffe print) and “Botanica” (toucans)
Border punch – EK Success
Cardstock – Bazzill

Wow! I just saw that this is my 200th post (in less than a year)! Eeek. Time flies and apparently the cards are flying, too!

I created this card for the Virtual Cardmaking party that is going on over at OWH Stars and Stamps. This one is for the VCMP Challenge #1: Hot Tropics, for which we are to make a card using tropical colors. I kind of kept the whole theme tropical for this one. I also used the CPS Sketch that is featured for their Fifth Anniversary celebration: Day 11. This is a really fun sketch to work with and perfect for featuring this paper. Thanks for visiting!
