H2H, Tropical Style!


Welcome to this week's challenge at Heart 2 Heart Challenges!  Do you remember that song, If you like Pina Coladas?  Well this week our challenge is to create Tropical Artwork!

This month my idea of a tropical trip would be to go sit on the beach under an umbrella (because I burn so easily) with my feet in the sand.  Kind of like the card I made for this week's challenge:



I used Close to My Heart's Surf's Up Paper Pack and the Just Chillin' Stamp Set (C1495).  There is my beach chair under my pretty blue umbrella and I even brought my grandchild's red bucket!  I am all set for a nice day at the beach.

I used this sketch #166 from Sketchy Colors for my card:



So now it is your turn!  I hope that I have inspired you a little to have fun creating some Tropical Artwork.  After you finish your artwork please go to  heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com and post a link to your project.  I cannot wait to see what you make!

  1. Yep, You blow me away with your talents once again. Love the beach card. I can picture you sitting in the beach chair relaxing (actually thinking up more ways to be creative) away while the young-in's are building sandcastle's with the red bucket. Very cute Melinda. Thanks for sharing!!
