Waves of Fun Card

Happy Monday crafty friends,

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Today I wanted to share a card I created with last week’s free email-newsletter update subscriber’s svg cut file. I got a little behind on my posting schedule and had to shift some things around, so that is why this project is behind. 

Here’s a look at my finished card. I started with a Kraft cardstock base. I added a layer of white cardstock for a mat and then used the striped paper from the Skylark Paper Pack collection for the main background.  I used my Pazzles Inspiration to cut the SVG title out in the necessary layers. I used my Cricut Artbooking cartridge and Cricut Expression to cut the palm trees and the notebook paper die cuts.  I stamped the lines onto the notebook paper with the coordinating stamp using the soon to retire Twilight Ink Pad.

Here’s a closer look at the palm tree fronds. I used some retired opaques to mimic the coconuts.

Here’s a closer look at the title. I used some buttercup, outdoor denim, white and champagne cardstock.

Quick Tip On Coloring the Palm Fronds

I cut the palm tree fronds in white cardstock. I then used my Pear Ink Pad and sponged the die cut. You can use your daubers or a sponge.

I then used my Topiary Ink Pad and sponged some onto the bottom half of each frond. I also brushed the ink onto the edges to deepen the color and add a little more dimension.

I used my chocolate ink pad to ink the sides of the tree trunks. Adhered the fronds onto the trunks and all done. Super simple.

One last look at the complete card.
