A Pineapple a Day

Today I made a card using a very new die by Newton's Nook Designs, Filigree Oval Frame, with some very old paper (source unknown, but I bought this pad in Utah which was over 7 years ago). I also used two retired stamp sets by Newton's Nook Designs. I haven't used this koala from the retired mini stamp set, Pina Koala (2018). I paired it with another retired 2019 stamp set by NND, Pineapple Delight. 

The following challenges inspired this card:

Shopping Our Stash Challenge #549 You are so Sweet

Critter Crazy Challenge #99 June 2025 Anything Goes with a Featured critter theme

I started by using Distress Inks to create the cardbase background. I used the  Tropical Leaves stencil. I then stamped the flamingo image from the Flamingo Oval stamp set and shaded with Copic markers.  I added the sentiment in the middle, but it was a bit crooked, so I restamped it and adhered to the mistake.  I created the scallop edging using the  Oval Frames die set. I added some white dots for some texture.  Then I added a tropical cocktail using an image from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set.  I added Glossy Accents to the cut to add some shine and dimension.  I popped this up with 3D foam tape. I love how this turned out!  Flamingos and cocktails--nice combination!

Here's my inspiration!

Living in the PNW, we get a lot of rain showers during spring, so I used the Newton's Rainy Day Trio stamp set colored in Prismacolor pencils. I kept the umbrella in shades of grays with the trio of kitten's jackets graduating into a rainbow of color because it is the brightness of friendship that gets you through the gloom of long, rainy & cloudy days!  I added some shimmery raindrops using the Raindrops stencil and added a cloud and rays of sunshine using the Sky Builder die set.  I pulled a sentiment from the Umbrella Pals stamp set.  I also used dies from the  Frames Squared and Circle Frames.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, 

Debbie
