First Not 2 Shabby DT post-Tropical

Hello, hello! 

Happy Wednesday! 

Today, is officially my first Not 2 Shabby DT post! Ack! :) If you haven't seen the current July Monthly Mood Board Challenge, you'll want to be sure to check things out on the Not 2 Shabby blog. It's so fun and easy to play along! :) 

On to my card...

I'm pretty sure my card screams tropical?!...(lol) Living in a tropical/sub tropical place, bright colors are everywhere (and neon lol depending where you go or at). So I wanted to incorporate that into my card, along with some tropical leaves. 

Here's the recipe for my card...

•  Use a marker friendly white cardstock and stamp on images in black ink.
•  Using Copic markers color in the images. 
•  Die cut images with matching dies.

•  Use patterned paper and the EZ Wonder #1 die to die cut card pieces. 
•  Use the square with the circle cutout and two banner pieces. 

• Adhere one of the color leaves behind the square. 
• Add foam tape on the back and adhere to the card base. 

• Adhere the remaining leaves and banners to the card. 
• Stamp on sentiment to white cardstock and use with matching die. 
• Add to the card.

Fun, right?!...
