Paradise, A State of Mind

When you live on the east coast, where winters are long and cold, "Paradise" really is a state of mind.

I started my card by stenciling Bold Florals by ARTplorations onto the background of an A2 sized card base, using DOX inks.

I added Dee's Distinctively Tropical Leaf Trio, that I also blended with DOX inks.

The Impression Obsession Flip Flops add to the beachy feel and the tiny flowers are from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from HoneyBee Stamps set called "Sea Breeze".  Yes, please!!

 I often listen to steel drums and tropical music when I'm creating in my craft room on those dark, cold, winter days.  It helps to put my mind in a different place.

Here's a list of the products I used that can be found at Dies R Us:

Impression Obsession Flip Flops
