May's class was all about the exotic and tropical as we used the Tropical Chic bundle (stamp + Die set) from Stampin' Up! This is such a fun bundle that works well with a multitude of colours and situations.
Our first project takes us to the sweaty heat of the tropical rainforest, damp strong colours with the heat of the unexpected. This is lovely half gatefold card uses the stunning papers from the Tropical Escape 6x6 DSP stack and large square die from the Tropical Elements die set. A simple way to add interest and design to your card.
Our second project was a simple card that evoked the white sands and washed out colours from the bright sunshine of tropical islands. We daubed our ink and stamped on the wood effect DSP from the Floral Romance speciality DSP. I hope this card has you dreaming of long cocktails on palm tree strewn beach.
While you are gently relaxing on that white beach, you may be reading a book. However, that long adventure in the tropical rainforest has your eyes gently resting and this bookmark using the retiring 2017-19 In-Colours could just keep your holiday reading on track.
I hope you enjoyed our brief soiree into a tropical adventure and if you decide you need this set (for cards or for scrapbooking those holiday memories) then purchase at the 10% bundle price before the 4th June. These stamps and dies will be in the 2019/20 Annual Catalogue, however, they will not be discounted.
Remember to grab the retiring colours, there are already some items that have gone forever, so check and purchase before they all go.
