Aloha!

I'm in a tropical kind of mood this week!  The weekend's weather was perfect - the sunshine was wonderful - and this whole week is supposed to be nice!! I decided to make a card using 3 Step Hibiscus from Kitchen Sink Stamps.  The card is 3.5" x 5" and I stamped the "Aloha" stamp (from 3 Step Aloha) all over using Versamark ink. 

I stamped the 2 hibiscus flowers with these recipes:

Large flower: Step 2 - Summer Sunrise, Step 3 - Hibiscus Burst, Step 1 - Sweet Blush, Step 4 - Scarlett Jewel


Smaller flower - Step 2 - Hibiscus Burst, Step 3 - Raspberry Fizz, Step 1 - Sweet Blush, Step 4 - Scarlett Jewel 

Leaves: Step 3 - New Leaf, Step 2 - Spring Moss (old formula ink), Step 1 - Spring Moss (new formula ink)

The dp is the fun Dotty Biscotti from Papertrey - I can't put it down!  I think it would be fun to make up a bunch of these with all different colored flowers and papers!
