These Colors are as close as I could get to the challenge colors. I had three pieces of this awesome Hawaii paper. My son is stationed in Hawaii and it's my daughter-in-law's birthday, so it looked like the perfect time to use the paper. I had tons of old confetti seashells left over from something, and they made my perfect silver embellishments. The flip-flops are from a long thick cut Sizzix die. They have magnets holding them together and they can either be a bookmark or a refrigerator magnet. The flowers on them have a little silver microbeads. I was searching the web to make foam flowers and found The neatest technique. I used it on the flowers. You get your flower wet and then you press it into a sponge using a stylist in the center. Once you take it out of the sponge you twist it really hard against the stylist. You then gently pull it apart and allow it to dry. This technique created a great texture in the paper flowers. It was extremely easy to do. It was extremely easy to do. The sentiment at the bottom is actually on the back page of this card and inside a book die cut. So it looks like a magazine is open on the beach and the saying looks as if it's a page with in the magazine. Thanks for looking, happy stamping Tonda.
