Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop

Good morning!  Can I just tell you how fun this month's Blast From the Past theme was?  The theme is Sending You Sunshine, I can't wait to hop around and see all of the bright and cheery, sunny projects!  Sankari rocked a new sketch for the challenge and I had a blast putting this card together. 

I changed my card to a 5x5 square to accomodate all the fun elements from Hangin' Out - At the Beach and I was able to use my new Palm Tree Die too!  I started by stamping the images in Memento Tuxedo Black on Choice Snow White cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers.  The palm tree is actually stamped twice and I cut the tree top out again and popped it up on foam tape to add some dimension.  I cut the surf board and flowers out by hand and added some Yellow Pearls to the centers of the flowers and up in the corner of the card. The sun was made with some Splash paper using the sun die from the Garden Party Blooms Die Set 2 and I sponged the edges with Memento Tangelo ink.



Here are the dies I used in today's card:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
