Ombre Love and Thanks with Tropical Chic

Hello and welcome to this month's Stampin Friends Blog Hop, our theme this month is Thanksgiving/Thankfulness. As we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia, my projects are something that you could create as a perfect gift to someone you thankful for.

I knew I liked the Tropical Chic bundle when I first saw it, but it turns out to be one of my absolute favourites from the 2018-2019 Catalogue. I couldn't go past using it again as the past few days have been warmer, and I've been out in the garden, I was inspired by the garden to step out of my comfort zone and create the projects using yellows and oranges - definitely not "go to" colours for me! You could recreate these items using any colours of your choice. 

To decorate the candle, make a removable belly band that fits around your candle, well you might say it is a hipster band as it sits at the base of the candle, start by stamping the stripes along the bottom edge of the cardstock, then create your arrangement in the centre of the strip using both glue and dimensions to attached to the strip, then and attach to the candle using Silver Bakers Twine.

For the card, cut a strip of Whisper White card stock approx 3cm (1.25 inches) and stamp the stripes along the bottom, then stamp the sentiment - I chose to do this in multiple colours, but you could just use one if you prefer, adhere this to your bottom of your card base, then all that's left to do is create your arrangement.

I've used Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove for the flowers and stripes, and Lemon Lime Twist with Tranquil Tide for the leaves, and Sahara Sand for the background stamping on the card. You could also just use one colour for the flowers and leaves, it's all up to you as you how you decide to create - and that is the joy of crafting!
