Hello! Christina here to share a sunny tropical card perfect for sending a quick note of happiness to someone. For this card I paired the beautiful new Block Print Hummingbird with the Tropical Hibiscus Contour Layers and added a fun polka dot patterned paper as the backdrop. Keep reading to get all the details for this sunny notecard!
I started by die cutting all the hummingbird and hibiscus elements for my design from brightly colored cardstock. I used yellows, oranges, and teals, with a pop of fuchsia on the hummingbird. All of the die cuts layered together beautifully, plus the Tropical Hibiscus flowers come with a layering guide to make assembly super easy too.
After I assembled and secured my die cut elements with liquid adhesive, I created a simple background. I trimmed a piece of yellow polka dot patterned paper to approximately 4 x 5 ¼ inches and then used a large circle die to round the corners. A corner rounder paper punch would work great for this step if you have one! Then I adhered this rounded panel to an A2 top-fold card base.
Next, I attached the flowers to the card base with foam squares and tucked the leaves under them, securing the leaves with liquid adhesive. I attached the hummingbird with thin foam squares, giving my design multiple levels of dimension. The last step was to die cut the sentiment, the Handwritten Just a Note, from a dark gray cardstock and secure it to my card.
And that completes this sunny tropical card using the Block Print Hummingbird and the Tropical Hibiscus sets. See you again soon!
