I used the Stampin’ Up! Sending Sunshine stamp set to create a fun tropical card to share with you today.  I did a video tutorial for making this card on my Facebook page yesterday.  I’ve also uploaded it to my YouTube Channel so you can view it there too!

My card design was inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #377.

I started by adhering a panel of Artistry Blooms DSP to the front of a Pool Party card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I wrapped a strand of Linen Thread around the panel three times and tied a bow.

I inked the larger water image from the Sending You Sunshine photopolymer stamp set in Pool Party ink, stamped it on scrap paper and then stamped it on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I inked the smaller water image from the Sending You Sunshine photopolymer stamp set in Pool Party ink, stamped it on scrap paper and then stamped it over the first image on the panel of Whisper White card stock.  I stamped the sun image from the Sending Sunshine stamp set in Daffodil Delight ink on the panel and then masked the sun and water images with Post It Notes and sponged Pool Party ink over the top of the panel with a Sponge Brayer.  I removed the masks and sponged a little Daffodil Delight ink over the sun image with a Sponge Dauber.

I cut the image out with one of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and then stamped the sentiment and branch images from the Sending Sunshine stamp set in Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green inks on the die cut panel.  I inked and stamped off the small cloud image from the Sending Sunshine stamp set in Pool Party ink and then stamped it on the die cut panel three times.  I adhered the die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added three of the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment and branch images from the Sending Sunshine stamp set in Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
