Waterfront + Fruit Basket = Birthday in Paradise

I'm loving this new set, Waterfront!  It arrived just in time to make a birthday card for my sister who is celebrating her birthday in Hawaii!  Couldn't wait for her actual birthday so gave it to her early!  It reminds me of a time we were together sipping a fruity cocktail from a Grand Wailea pineapple cup -- didn't stay at that hotel, but the beach in front of it is a favorite of ours and they are happy to sell the drinks to anyone! I've only used the more tropical look but the Waterfront set works for mountain scenes as well.

Since I've already given the card to my sister and I failed to make note of the colors I used I'm going from memory for the supplies.

In addition to the Waterfront stamp set, I used the Fruit Basket Bundle for the pineapple.  The Itty Bitty Punches are truly itty bitty and I LOVE THEM! I used the straw from a retired set, 3 Cheers for You.

The greeting was easy to curve.  The Fruit Basket set is photopolymer so it was easy to place on the clear block and mirror the curve of the circle dies.  I love the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  

Supplies:

Fruit Basket Photopolymer Stamp Set
Waterfront Photopolymer Stamp Set
Itty Bitty Punch Pack
Stitched Shapes Framelits
Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon
Mini Stampin Dimensionals to pop up the pineapple and stamped layer
Aqua Painters to add highlights and details to stamped images

Basic Gray Ink (for greeting)
Saraha Sand Ink
Crumb Cake Ink
Soft Suede Ink
Island Indigo Ink

Melon Mambo Ink

Here is a picture of the cup that inspired the whole card.

Waterfront Birthday -- a little bit of paradise

I have been MIA, I hope you have noticed.  So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Just before Christmas I got the flu (in spite of a flu shot) and is taking me so long to feel better. I'm still congested and coughing.  Yikes -- it was a bad one! I got my new product from the Occasions Catalog and some free Sale-a-bration sets (as a demonstrator I get to order a few weeks early) and couldn't even play!  Well, I finally got to play with what I think is my one of my "new favorite" stamp set -- Waterfront.  I was inspired by another card I saw, but can't find that one.

The set has stamps that allow you to create a scene.  I used them and filled in, and softened some transitions with my aqua painter.

I used the Seaside Embossing Folder to create the "waves" on the one layer.  The circle was cut using largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies
