Just Beachy Hibiscus

Hello everyone.  I have more inspirations from Whimsy Stamps (WS) latest summer release.  I’m using the new Hibiscus die set with the new Just Beachy slimline (SL) paper to create a simple tropical scene.


The flowers and foliage were die cut from alcohol marker friendly cardstock and coloured with Copic Sketch markers.

Copic markers used
pinks - R81/83/85 
yellows - Y11/15/17 
greens - G03/05/09/28, YG03/07/09/67, BG96


Next, die cut the Just Beachy SL paper with a Pierced and Stitched Circle die.  Assembled the card onto a white card base, then added clear shimmer to the flowers and yellow jewels to the yellow flower centers for some sparkle to finish.  A sentiment will be added when it's time to be used.


My second card used the Hibiscus die set in a super CAS (clean and simple) mini SL card.  The hibiscus and Bold ABC alphabet letters were die cut twice from white cardstock and stacked for dimension.  Coloured the bottom of the letters with turquoise dye ink using a finger blending brush.


 Added shading to the hibiscus with C00/1/3 Copic Sketch markers.  The hibiscus centers were die cut from aqua and turquoise scraps.


Mini Slim Rounded Stitched panel was die cut from Bristol paper next.  Applied aqua dye ink to the background.  Layered the panel onto turquoise cardstock then mounted it to a white mini SL (3.25”x6.25”) card base.  Added clear shimmer to the hibiscus and letters for some sparkle to finish.
