Cards for All Seasons IG Hop - Week 16

Hello friends; I hope you're having a great week so far. I'm back today to share my card for this week's Cards for All Seasons IG hop organised by my lovely friend Kelly. We are now on Week 16 and our theme is 'summer luau'. Such a fun theme this week; think bright colours, Hawaii and party! There are going to be so many awesome creations along the hop this week and I can't wait to see what sparks your imagination.

I had an older MFT stamp set that fit the bill perfectly this week which I had never used up so it was time to give it some love this week.  I used really bright colours and made a circle shaped card for a change.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the images:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping all the images onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured them with Promarkers.  I don't have the coordinating dies so had to fussy cut everything out apart from the palm tree which was from another set.  I'm not the best at fussy cutting, especially now I'm older and my eyes aren't what they used to be, but I think they turned out ok.  I used a large scalloped circle die to cut out 2 pink circles and scored the top of one and glued them together to form my card base.  I cut 2 white circles and lightly ink blended on both using ocean mist and sandy beach ink pads.  I also die cut 3  white clouds.  I arranged the images onto the first circle and when I was happy with the arrangement added them all with liquid glue, apart from the hula girl and the floral arrangement under the palm tree, which were added with foam squares.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink and then finally adhered the clouds with liquid glue.  As a finishing touch I added some highlights with a white gel pen.  I cut some scrap white card for behind my circle and then added the circle panel onto the pink circle with double sided tape.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment with black ink and added another floral arrangement in the bottom right of the circle.  I did have to trim some of the top of the circle to fit the card base and then adhered it with double sided tape.  I love how bright and happy this card is and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
