And how was the background created? By masking and ink blending Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet distress inks with foam blending tools. Stamped the silhouette Paradise Palms images from Newton’s Nook using Versafine Onyx Black ink, then added waves with a white gel pen to complete the scene.
So glad I hung onto it. 😊 That does it for my card. Thank you for stopping by.

Trina, this is stunning! I am so glad you saved this and made a wonderful card from it. And to me, it just shouts retirement...relaxing and enjoying life!
How could you throw that tropical background? It’s just gorgeous! And I'm so glad you have had the perfect occasion to use it! :) Absolutely fabulous with that sentiment and love how you used that big diecut with the offset with a smaller stamp, the mix looks so striking!
