Hawaii Dreaming

Have you been dreaming of warmer places lately? I know I have. Winter seems like it's been hanging around just a little bit too long. I'm anxious to sit outside and see some greenery again!! Aren't you? I guess I will have to satisfy myself with a daydream today... let me take you on a trip to Hawaii!! Everything I'm using today is from the Let's Go! Travel Collection. This is Leilani our Hula Girl! She's a printed die cut - ready to use. You can write words on the little sign in her hand - I just added a heart gem. I was thinking this might be a nice anniversary card, or just a note to remind Mr. J. that it's time for a vacation - that we need to go make some memories!

I wanted the pattern paper to peek through the letter openings in the word "memories" but when I layered it on the newsprint background it sort of faded away. The Travel Stencil Cards are all cut from white card stock. To make the word stand out more I colored it up with Copic markers. Distress ink would also work great for this. I tried to use the same color blue as the other items on the card to draw your eye.
I stamped "Aloha" on a Navigator Note Flag. They're available on a printed sheet that you can cut by hand, or if you are looking for a short cut like me, they also come in a package precut. They come in a package with lots of different colors - perfect for mixing and matching with different paper collections. I love my bling, and really this one didn't need much.... just the heart gem and one little seashell sequin from the Paradise Confetti package. The different confetti blends have a great assortment of little embellishments for you to pick through.
I adhered the die cut Leilani with adhesive foam tape to add a little dimension to the card.

Ready for a vacation yet? LOL! Don't worry! Spring's on it's way. In the meantime you can always take a day dream get away !
