:: Birthday Sundaes Challenge #35: Put a Tree on your card! ::

I must admit I was a little stumped on this week's card challenge...

that was until my mom asked me if I could create a card for one of her co-workers,

who will be flying to somewhere tropical and sunny in two weeks time to celebrate her 50th birthday!  Talk about saving the day! S:o)

It has been quite a while since I pulled out and used some of my Greeting Farm stamps.

I figured using Hope-Sing would the ideal stamp considering the occasion! To create Hope's "skirt", I simply paper-pieced her sarong with two different papers from MME's Vanity Fair 6x6 paper collection that I purchased at the Kraftin' Kimmie Day that I attended last month and shaded the bottom (or inside flap) to make it look like it was folded underneath the top part of the sarong.

I realized as I was making Ms. Hope that I didn't have any tree stamps

(either digi or acrylic/rubber) so I went online and found a really cool palm tree digi set from Tiffany Doodles.

The rest of my supplies:

My Mind's Eye Six by Six "Vanity Fair" 6x6 paper collection

Bazzil Kraft cardstock

Copics

ColourBox pigment ink in Moss Green

Stampendous Clear Embossing Powder

Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen and Tea Dye

Stickles in Stardust and Black Diamond

Liquid Pearls in Gold and Bisque

Rhinestone (from my stash)
