Here’s Sam with a lovely bunch of coconuts card!

The current challenge is all about those summer vibes!
 I am in love with the cute food people in the Summer Friends stamp set!
I stamped the images and then used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in. I also added some details with a white gel pen. Once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.


I used Distress Inks to add color for the sky with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, and Salvaged Patina. Then I used the Sunray Background Stencil with the same colors to make the fun sunny look.
 I also used Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the beach. I die cut out the shore with white cardstock and the Stitched Hillside Borders. I also splattered the same ink colors and some white acrylic ink to make it look super sandy! 
I die cut out a bunch of palm trees from the Hammock and Trees die set and added color with Distress Inks, too! I used the same colors for the shore and for the tree. Then I used Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron for the palms themselves.


I just LOVE how fun and summery this card is! I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock and then trimming it into a banner.

We love it too, Sam! It reminds me of the Lovely Bunch of Coconuts song from the movie The Lion King! Too cute. Thanks for the super fun inspiration!
