Okay, so I'm really not off to the tropics, but my card makes me want to be there! I used the CuttleBug Challenge 39 as the inspiration for my colors. I stamped the DoodleFactory Tropics Backdrop in Black on watercolor paper, and colored using the Marker Watercoloring Technique from a past issue of The Technique Junkies Newsletter. When cutting the image I left the top Palm Trees cut out for the Out of the Box look. To create the look of clouds, I sponged ink using over a scrap punched with the Scallop Punch. The Orange panel was embossed with the CuttleBug Distressed Stripes folder.
Details:
Stamps - StarvingArtistamps DoodleFactory Tropics Backdrop
Ink - Black Archival, Markers
Card Stock - Watercolor, Orange, Black, Olive, Turquoise
Other - Scallop punched for cloud stencil, Sponge Dauber, Aquapainter, Big Shot, CuttleBug Distressed Stripes Folder
Off to find a nice chair to sit and enjoy the weather!

Great card Lisa! I tried this technique this week- it is way harder than it looks! I wish you would do a step by step tutorial-even though there is one already for TJ, how do you get such a smooth look? Love your colors and love the out of the box look with the tree. TFS
