This is another simple and easy card I made using Designer Series Paper (DSP). I showed you one yesterday using the Best Route DSP. This time I am using the Tropical Escape 6″ x 6″ pack. This paper is absolutely gorgeous! It uses the colors Granny Apple Green, Blushing Bride, Shaded Spruce, Basic Black and Whisper White. It has beautiful flower and leaf designs and it is part of the Tropical Escape Suite (page 120 of the Annual Catalog).

The Tropical Escape Suite includes the stamp set called Tropical Chic. This stamp set has matching dies called Tropical Thinlits Dies. You are going to love this Bundle (yes you can save 10% by purchasing them in a Bundle). The dies cut out the outline of the leaves in the stamp set but also cut out the middle too! PLUS, the dies cut out some of the leaves on the Designer Series Paper! How cool is that!

To make this card I cut out a 3.75″ x 5.5″ piece of Tropical Escape DSP. I attached this to a piece of 1″ x 5.5″ of Blushing Bride cardstock. Then I layered a piece of the Granny Apple Green 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon where the two pieces met. Then I adhered it all to a piece of 8.5″ x 5.5″ Whisper White cardstock folded in half. I stamped the flower for the Tropical Chic stamp set in Blushing Bride and cut it out using the Tropical Thinlits Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green Ink and cut the banner points out by hand.
