Lisa, what a cool piece of trivia! I've always thought it'd be fun to be an operator, I don't know why. I guess it was all those old movies.
I must still be running a fever because I would rather be in Alaska than Hawaii any day of the week!!! But I digress. I originally thought it'd be funny to have the greeting say Hello Beautiful but I couldn't find "beautiful" in my stash (other than my Altenew stamps and they were too small). I also don't own a pineapple stamp so a creating I went...
*Stamped images and sentiment with Altenew Jet Black
*Lei was created with a stubby from Stamps by Judith
*Colored images with Inkense pencils
*Masked drink to stamp bg w/FSJ Candy Stripe w/SU Summer Sun ink
*Added Wink of Stella to the drink image
Not great, but fun card. Maybe I'll send it to my sister...she lives in Florida. ;)
Hugaroonies, oops...CHEERS!!!

I would think anyone would love to receive this, Deborah. I know for sure it would brighten a dull grey day here... can you guess it's raining just now. I really like the curved sun rays. This has such a happy summer holiday feel to it.

Great card! I love how you pulled out all the stops (or stubbys) to make the lei! I am impressed at this cool pineapple you created too - very nice! I love all the sparkle and shine you added to the blue Hawaiian drink, and the stenciled background is perfect for this card! Your sister will love it! ~Karen.

I think I am with you I think it would have been fun to be a phone operator too. I love the Hawaiian theme for your card and what a great BG you created too. Thank you for joining in on the WTUI challenge. I sure hope you are feeling well and no longer running a fever.
