I’ve noticed that the emailed version of my blog has a different appearance. If you click on Aromas And Art (blue letters) in the upper right corner, it will take you to my website with a normal appearance. 

The focal point of todays card is a palm tree created with a rainbow of color. I painted horizontal stripes of color with Stampin’ Blends, on Basic White Cardstock (4″ X 5 1/4″) in this order: Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis, and Starry Sky. Light and dark of each color was used, blending one color to the next.

The grass is a blend of Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide, and the sun was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink. Then, I used the Palms Dies for cutting the palm tree, grass and sun.

A Little Paradise

The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, layered with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. This is topped with Vellum Layering Designs, cut with the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die. The third largest Deckled Rectangles Die was used to cut the top layer of Basic White Cardstock, which is raised on Dimensionals.

Prior to attaching the top layer, I stamped the sentiment in Stazon Black Ink, using my Stamparatus for placement. “Hope you find a little paradise wherever you may be” is from the Paradise Palms Stamp Set.

The grass, sun, and trunk of the palm tree are glued flat, and the palm fronts are raised on a Dimensional.

I added a blue Glossy Dot, as a final touch.

I was inspired by Fusion.
