For this first card, I like the bright colorful feel!
Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: Deck the Palms – Christmas Stamp + Thin Cuts, Deck the Palms Paper Packet, Deck the Palms Coordinating Cardstock, White Gel Pens, Magenta TriBlend Marker, Dark Red TriBlend Marker, Archival Black Ink, and White Daisy Cards & Envelopes.
This second card didn’t turn out like I planned but I thought I’d share anyway. I like the layering of the thin cut with the gold foil paper and the patterned leaves as the background. I’m just not sure about the flamingo.

Love your cards and that second one with all of the “brush”…Is that what they call that in the tropics? LOL

I’m about as far away from the tropics as you can get so I have no idea!

I love both your cards particularly the leaves with the gold.

Great Cards! Yes, the gold foil is really striking!

I love ALL THE LAYERS of the Card Front Thin Cut and the patterned paper behind it…such a nice added touch!

In the top card, I believe you cut the flamingo on pink. How did you get the trim on the hat white? I’m getting ready to do these and I was totally planning on cutting them in pink rather than having to color them all – thanks for doing it first!

Yes, I did cut the flamingo in pink. For the white on the hat I used the White Gel Pens. Here’s a link if you don’t have them: https://wendykessler.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=15681
