Hello everyone. I’m so glad you stopped by. This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook. Today I have a tropical tiki card featuring a new stamp and die set from Pink & Main called Tiki Time. I’m always drawn to these sort of tropical themes, they make me want to go on vacation.
I stamped and colored my images with copic markers before using the coordinating dies to cut everything out. Then I cut 4 concave rectangles from white cardstock and ink blended each in a gradient with different Pink & Main dye inks. I wanted things bright and fun so I chose construction, night sky, lakeside and the park.
Next, I used an embossing folder to add texture to my background panel and adhered it to a card base. I added foam tape to the back of the concave rectangles and popped them up at an angle, leaning toward the center of the panel.
Then I popped my images up on those with foam squares. I kept the tiki guys opposite each other and made sure the lizard and toucan were on contrasting colored panels.
I stamped and heat embossed aloha on black cardstock and trimmed it out with my scissors. Then I popped it up in the center with foam squares as well. For finishing touches I added Touch of Gloss to the critters’ eyes and stardust Stickles to their spots and dots for a little sparkle too.
Anyone else ready to run away to a tropical island with me? I promise I can pack really fast!
