#3 Aloha

I recently went to Hawaii to visit my Grandparents for a long weekend.  As you can imagine, it was beautiful, relaxing, warm, and full of delicious food. So, I thought I would make them a thank you card.  I tried to go somewhat tropical themed, so I picked the pink flowers and the waves.  I heat embossed the thank you and framed the opening with a coral box.  I like how it turned out...

This Card qualifies for the EAD color challenge:


And just for good measure, here's the view from their porch:

#2- Fun with ghandi

My next card is brought to you by the colors blue, green, and brown.  I decided to use the flower paper, then the brown polkadot paper for the envelope, and then I spent an absurdly long time brainstorming everything out.  All was going well until it came to inking the cuttlebugged flowers, where it all fell apart a bit.  I definitely should not be pointing that out.  Anyway, I liked the sentiment a lot. In my job I spend a ridiculous amount of time rushing around and trying to get ahead, so I thought the sentiment was a good reminder to relax a little bit.

The flowers were Cuttlebugged
The white dots were from Imaginisce

EDIT:  I totally failed to mention that this was for the Artful Delight sketch challenge:
