I have had this stamp set since it came out but had never inked it. For some reason, it intimidated me. I started a Pinterest board and intended to CASE some of the cards but when I came up with the challenge for Victoria, I knew the theme and the set I wanted to use for her. She is a special SCS sister and I wanted something "classic" for her. Hawaiian, girl, you have a heart bursting with love and caring and we love you.
The card was done mostly with reverse masking and using several colors of distress inks. I followed Tahitian Landscape for inspiration. I used colored pencils to fill in spaces and highlight areas.

Oooh, very Gougin-esque! Those mountains are beautiful and the color scheme shouts tropical all over the place. It certainly is great for an Aloha greeting!

Well, you took Waterfront away from the water and made a fabulous tropical scene with it. I loved your inspiration painting: as long as I can remember my mother had a Gaugin reproduction. I can remember it in their bedroom when I was a child, I remember it in the kitchen in their last house, in between ?? The warmth of those colours and the glow of the rising or setting sun are so beautiful.
