You Deserve It!

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   #ThoughtfulThursday   The Tropical Oasis Suite on pages 38 through 40 in the January-to-June Mini Catalog has such wonderfully vibrant, tropical colors! But this card that I received from Pam Sines during a card swap went in a different direction. And I think I love it. Pam used more muted colors and turned the card into a restful scene. And how thoughtful is it to tell someone that they should rest and relax because they deserve it?!

Pam started by embossing a 4" by 5-1/4" Balmy Blue Card Stock panel with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder. She adhered that to a Thick Whisper White Card Stock card base. Next, she stamped the palm trees from the "Timeless Tropical" set in Shaded Spruce and Sahara Sand Inks onto a 2-3/4" by 3-1/2" Whisper White rectangle and adhered it directly to the card. 

She used Sahara Sand Ink to stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White Card Stock and punched it out with the Pretty Label Punch. She punched another pretty label from Sparkle Glimmer Paper and cut it in half, lengthwise. She adhered her stamped label to this piece and then adhered the assembled sentiment piece to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For a finishing touch, Pam tied a pretty bow from Magnolia Lane Linen Ribbon and adhered it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. So pretty and peaceful!
