I know I have a lot of favorites, but the Timeless Tropical Bundle is among them. My first card using the set was the pineapple, and today’s card features the hibiscus; both prominent, tropical images.

Hibiscus
This flower was really fun to color. I first stamped it in Lovely Lipstick Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, then used three Stampin’ Blends for coloring: Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo, and Dark Mango Melody. Then, I stamped three leaves in Old Olive Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and colored with a Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend.
The fun continued, because the die set, In The Tropics, has two dies for cutting the flower and leaves.
For the background, I embossed Whisper White Cardstock with the Scripty Embossing Folder, and gave it a 1/16th inch border of Basic Black Cardstock. I layered this on a Thick Whisper White card base.
After gluing the leaves to the hibiscus, I placed it on Dimensionals, positioned for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set, Stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this trip to the tropics! Keep scrolling to see my product List. And, don’t forget, this is the best time to join Stampin’ Up!

Thank you, Katy! I have a second “Thinking of you” waiting in the wings. I appreciate your comment.
Thanks for posting this Su. Going to use your inspiration as a Birthday Card for my sister.
This is a gorgeous card!! You need to enter it into our challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters, as the theme is ‘thinking of you’!
Thank you, Diane! I have one ready to post to the Sisterhood. I’m so glad you like this one!
