The sketch is from StampTV's sketch challenge, STVSC4. I decided to use the fun pineapple from Aloha Paradise. Doesn't it look yummy? I want to be on a beach right now, sipping an umbrella drink ;)The colouring took the longest time, as I was trying some shading. To create the star accents, I simply inked the star (from the 'O' in the sentiment) with a black marker, and stamped them.
While colouring the coconut, I decided to over colour, so the paper would get too wet, and become distressed (you know how the top layer starts to come off?) because I thought it looked like a coconut husk! It's hard to see in the photo, of course.
I was thinking of adding some sparkle, but I just didn't think it would work with the colours.

I love this card (and I don't even drink--lol). It is perfect in it's simplicity. Really well done.
I think we need to get the Margartia machine out soon! Your coloring/shading looks great!
re: LSS - yup! They have a Big Shot, the Circut 6x12 one and the Circut Expression as well as some other tools I've not used yet. The only thing with the cricut(s) is I have to take my own mat and blade. But they have tons of cartridges, and wonderful classes! I love having them so close by. I'm actually scared they are going to do so well they will need to expand and move to a bigger location that is far away.
I love what you did with this card. And yes, the sentiment says it all. looks like something I need right now... a drink. yum
so glad you found us a PP!
These stamps are too fun! Great card!
