Paradise Palms Retirement Card

Doesn’t paradise sound good in January? I live in Florida and we’ve had a couple of frosty mornings! A warm beach sounds good to me :)

 
 

I used the Paradise Palms Bundle. It’s so nice to see retirement sentiments in a stamp set. I love the palm tree stamps and dies included to create great beach scenes.

 
 

The background layer is a piece of the New Horizons Designer Series Paper. This paper pack is 6x6 and has some really beautiful patterns that can be used for fabulous backgrounds.

  • Evening Evergreen Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • New Horizons Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4 x 4 and adhere to card base.

  • Basic White Cardstock - stamp both tree trunks with Soft Suede Ink and both palm tree tops with Just Jade Ink and cut with coordinating dies. Adhere trees to card.

Stamp sentiment with Evening Evergreen Ink. Using Stampin’ Write Markers color the small group of palm trees directly on the stamp. I used Soft Suede and Just Jade Markers. NOTE: do not use Stampin’ Blends! Breath on the stamp and then stamp on inside layer. Stamp the small hill with Evening Evergreen Ink (stamp off first) and then stamp the grass over it with Evening Evergreen Ink directly.
