It is a cold in my neck of the woods -- our high temperature was -7°F today -- so it seems like a perfect day to share a couple of cards that have tropical vibes.
I made these cards ages ago, so I don't remember many details, although I think they're pretty self-explanatory. I used the Sending Sunshine stamp set (Stampin' Up!), and while I love the images in the set, it's not particularly versatile. So I tried to create two distinct layouts for these cards. Both cards turned out well, but I really like the retro look of the card on the right with the strips of colored card stock behind the focal image. And I think the style of the "happy birthday" sentiment coordinates well with it, too.
I could do with a hint of this tropical weather. Thank goodness our cold snap is supposed to be ending tomorrow -- we should have temps above zero! Thanks for stopping by!

What lovey cards! I like the colours and I like how you matched the colours on the oval to match the colours on the background stripes! Hope that makes sense! Oh gosh, -7 degrees is not warm enough. Hopefully by now your temperatures have warmed up. We've had too much wind and rain for summer. It may be sunny, but that icy cold wind makes it cool. Thank you for all your kind comments on my blog - always appreciated! Hugs to you and your three fur-babies from me! xx
