You’re Freaking Awesome!

I'm always pretty pleased when I can complete a card that has texture and is still postal friendly. Have you tried out any of the Paper Layering Dies? Check out the oh-so-fun  hero_product_link sku="DI160" text="Paper Layering Pineapple"]:

One of the many beauties of these dies...the awesome texture. It literally makes the card for you.

The watercoloring on the top layer took no time at all. I used Zig Clean Color Markers. I paired the Pineapple with a sentiment from the  hero_product_link sku="CL924" text="Hello Gorgeous stamp set"]. I decided to use  hero_product_link sku="AF345" text="Intense Black"] for the sentiment. My base panel just consists of yellow swipes from my Zig Marker that I followed up with water to soften up the overall look and color.

I'm a huge fan of pineapples! There's a sweet wood mount  hero_product_link sku="F6078" text="Pineapple stamp"] in the shop.

P.S. Pink pineapple? Why not?!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
