Tropics & Coffee

Howdy Crafters - I created this Summer Tropics Coffee card today. I am using a masking technique with sponging - one of my favorites to do - I learned this last year and still try to create masking backgrounds  - Here is a question: Are you uploading to the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop? If not, come on over and check it out! It surely is a fun adventure - thanks for dropping in and have a blessed, sunny, tropical week! ~ Gail ~
WINNER!! From Summer Coffee lovers Blog Hop  - thank you!

Chalk on the Tree limbs - Spectrum Noir Markers for some coloring on the coconuts and base of the Palm Tree
I inked the heart up with red ink and fussy cut - then popped it up on the sentiment
All of the stamps are from MFPSS - Stamped with Gina K Black ink and fussy cut - then glued to the card

Pop up tape was used behind the coffee cups, Flamingo, and Palm Tree
I found the orange ribbon in my stash with the fun in the sun stamped on it - just right for this card
