Happy Sunday Friends! I have a quick share for you this afternoon featuring a Tropical theme. I felt like being creative today but didn't feel like getting out loads of supplies for stamping, coloring and etc. I set about rummaging through my stash to see what I could use and found some puffy stickers.
I purchased several puffy sticker packs at the Dollar Tree a few years ago, when things were STILL a $1...instead of the current $1.25. I thought they were cute and I would use them on scrapbook layouts (which I've yet to make) or sharing with swap friends. Instead, they ended up in a drawer.
I used a small acrylic block and Catherine Pooler Inks to create the background. I applied the ink to the stamping block, spritzed with water and "stamped" the color on the panel. I splattered Dina Wakely Black Spray Ink and once all was dry, I applied the stickers.
To finish it off, I've adhered color shifting sequins and Calypso Blue Twine; both from Fun Stampers Journey. This card was quick and easy - I never broke a sweat!
Have a fantastic week ahead and until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

Such a wonderful, colourful card, Donna. It made me smile to myself reading about your puffy sticker purchase and plans, yet the stickers ended up in a drawer for a few years :) We all do this, time and time again, but hey, you found them and put them to great use. Brilliant job with the monoprint block backgrounds!
