Cookie Challenge No. 194 | Aloha | Palm Tree Paradise | Technique Junkies

Hey everyone.  Just popping in today to show a card I made for Cookie Challenge No. 194 on the If You Give a Crafter A Cookie Challenge Blog.  The theme is "Aloha" and the inspirational graphic is below.  I used to be on their Design Team but it's been a long time since I uploaded a card for one of their challenges.    

When I think of the word Aloha, I think of Hawaii, palm trees, drinks in coconuts, blue skies, and hibiscus flowers.  And Palm Tree Paradise from Technique Junkies is perfect for this card.

• I made an A2 card to which I adhered a piece of "wood/beach" scrapbook paper. 

• I stamped Palm Tree Paradise on light blue cardstock using black ink, die-cut it using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, and then blended in some clouds using my DIY cloud stencil, a blending brush, and Blue Ribbon Dye Ink from Ranger.  Then I adhered a piece of fun foam behind the image and then to the card front.

• Lastly, I glued Scrabble Tiles to the front spelling out ALOHA.

Done!  Hope I am picked as a top-pick winner.  If you love the Palm Tree Paradise stamp I used on this card, and decide to go shopping on the Technique Junkies website, don't forget to use my code to get 10% off your whole purchase.  

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and, until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.
