Tropical Chic Upgrade

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Mix It UP! Monday and I have an upgraded version of the card I shared with you yesterday.  I used the exact same product that was used to create yesterday's card ....... but added a couple additional products found in the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

 

Here's my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the LEFT.....

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the RIGHT.....

 

 How FUN is this upgraded card!!!!

 

I used the same 'Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper' for the front of my upgraded card ....... But for this upgraded version, I matted that DSP panel to a Whisper White and Shaded Spruce panel.  I also upgraded to a Granny Apple Green base card.

 

Next, I used a Shaded Spruce panel across the bottom of my card for my sentiment.  That sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink and I sprinkled it with 'White Embossing Powder'.

 

I also upgraded each of the 'Tropical Chic' flowers by stamping them onto Whisper White card stock and then using the 'Topical Dies' to crop out each of the flowers.  I arranged my die-cut flowers onto layers of 1-3/8", 1-1/2" and 1-3/4" circles.

And for a finishing touch ...... I used my White Gel Pen to add some stitching around each of the 1-3/4" Shaded Spruce circles.

 

I must admit ........ I adore both versions of this card.

How about you?????

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3-D Tuesday creation with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
