Now I've never been to South Beach, but this is what I imagine I'd see. Tropical colors, white fences and lots of drinks w/ flowers in them.
I thought I had everything right for the Limited Supplies, but now that I see it, I may one too many layers. But it's not a full layer, so maybe the powers that be will let it slide. I used 3 colors (pink, green and blue) plus white. 3 c/s (pink, dp and white). 3 items or images (the drink, the round sentiment and the fence). I'm pretty sure I got the sketch right. I really loved Roxie's punched and embossed white layer so I borrowed that, just changed the punch and embossing folder.
All images areSparkle N Sprinkle. The drink was stamped and colored, cut out and a little glitter added to the center. I did the same for the sentiment except I used a Nestie circle to cut it out. I sponged a tiny bit of pink ink around the edges.
The pink square was sponged around the edges w/ the pink inks. A little punched white fence attached at the bottom and dots done w/ a white gel pen. Then the drink and sentiment were attached w/ foam tape. It's layered onto the dp which was edged w/ a dk pink marker.
My white panel was punched along both sides and embossed down the center. I added a tiny bit of pink ink, lightly sponged over the top and I used my Scor-It to score a couple of lines on either side of the embossing. Next is a layer of dp then the white card. TFL
