Starting out today with this message I found on Pinterest: It is so my craft room today--LOTS of ideas waiting to be created! LOL! So it is amazing that I could come up with these cards for Darnell's Twofer challenge using leaves. I am using palm leaves. The Santa image is a digi I purchased on Etsy here. But there is a similar one in the SU new Holiday Catalog. Santa is colored with SU blender pens. I think he ran off from the North Pole without his sunscreen and is getting a bit pink surfing in Hawaii. The palm trees are from My Favorite Things. I stamped then colored with SU Blender Pens and fussy cut them. I attached the palm trees only by the trunk so the tops are swaying in the wind. There are 3 punched yellow circles in the upper right to add a little sunshine. You know, how you squint your eyes in the sun and see yellow dots. The Flamingo is from Stampabilities also colored with SU blenders. The DSP behind the flamingo is SU Tropical Escapes paper pack. I accentedt his one with 3 pearls. I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches for inspiration. Now I think I must do a little cleaning, straightening, and organizing. A messy desk is a sign of a creative mind but too much mess stifles creativity!
