As my daughter commented when she saw this card, “Mom, you finally came out of your flowerbox!” I did have to sneak a few of them in tho!! This month our fantastic sponsor is:
and our challenge theme is:
And I am delighted to be designing with Julie Ebersole’s new release stamps, Stay Golden.
My pineapple was stamped repeatedly with Versamark on a scrap of dark yellow cs and gold embossed until there was a nice thick layer. The top (or crown) was stamped on a scrap of green with Versamark and clear embossed – again until there was a thick layer. I did the same with the little flowers leaves and sentiment except they were stamped with regular ink. Even tho there are matching dies for these stamps, I fussy cut them because I didn’t want the white edges. The base of the card is white with the striped washi tape from Target and the grey stripe from Michaels. Added a couple of sequins for added texture and done! All the repeated stamping was done with my MISTI.
This month you can win a prize from Ellen Hutson with your entry in our “Texture” challenge – so many ways to add texture – layering, dry and heat embossing, texture paste, embellishments, fabric, velveteen stamping – just to name a few. Our ABNH designers will have ideas for you all month long also. So join in here.
Fun sentiment for that yummy pineapple, Betty!!

Your pineapple is amazing, Betty! I love all the texture that you created with embossing, and how you added a few blooms to this card…perfectly placed, too š
