Tropical Chic - Stampin' Up!

Happy Friday!  I'm soooo not good at keeping a fun secret, but I managed!  I had asked my readers on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to vote on a colour combo that I would use in my Lolly & Sand Fun Friday video on Facebook.

Here's the choices they were given:


Row 1 was the combo with the most votes - so that's what I made in my video today!


What a pretty combo for the Tropical Chic stamp set - Lemon Lime Twist, Highland Heather & Coastal Cabana


After stamping the sentiment, I die cut it using a circle die from Stitched Shapes Framelits, and adhered it to a piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock that I had die cut with one of the Layering Circle Framelits.



Once everything was stamped I added a layer of Lemon Lime Twist & adhered everything to a Highland Heather base.


What my viewers didn't know....and this is the fun secret - I had made up cards in the other colour choices to show them!  Check out these cards...


I love how these colours practically pop off the page!  Granny Apple Green, Tranquil Tide and Shaded Spruce on Whisper White...pop! 


The images are so crisp and clean!  
I think this is a wonderful testament to the quality of the stamps from Stampin' Up!  


All the stamps I used are from the Tropical Chic set.  I'm so delighted whenever I see a sentiment with more than one style of font!  Pretty!!!


Now...my last card was even more of a surprise! Although my voters didn't know what stamp set I would be using, even I gave a big WOW when I saw the finished card.  Big WOW!


Smoky Slate, Basic Gray & Gray Granite.  I think I'm in love!



I used Smoky Slate for both words - die cut from Sunshine Wishes & Celebrate You Thinlits, but I felt they looked a little bland.  Wink of Stella to the rescue!!  The sparkle was precisely what was needed!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these card & colour combos.  Do you have a fave?
