Hey Stampers! It's time for another challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments.....a photo inspiration challenge!
I decided to go with the palm trees in the left bottom corner as my jumping off point. I also used the inspiration and sketch from Fusion Card Challenge - Rainbow birds. And lastly, I took the Summer Vacation theme from The Paper Players #444.
Who remembers the 80's and the bright pastels of Miami Vice? That's exactly what these palm trees reminded me of once my card was complete. I even used a retired embossing folder called Tiny Triangles. The triangles reminded me of the 80's as well. I grew up in the 80's so I'm really loving the nostalgia I'm getting from this fun card!
The skinny sentiment strip is stamped with a sentiment from Home To Roost and is popped up with dimensionals. I feel like the sentiment font could go a little 80's as well...perfect for the Miami Vice palm trees!
Here's a list of my supplies.....
Stamps: Waterfront, Home to Roost
Ink: Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist, Grapefruit Grove, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: White, Flirty Flamingo, Black, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana
Accessories: Tiny Triangles EF, Iridescent Sequins
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

I love this! Maybe b/c I grew up in the 80's, too! ;) Love your fun colors with the black embossed BG.
