I have the pleasure of being your hostess this week. When I picked the colors I did not know what I wanted to make other than something summery and tropical!
I was planning on some flowers - with green added as my dessert - and was pulling out a floral fold-it die when I came across this parrot. For those who don't know, a "fold-it" is a shaped card base. I've used this one before and think she is adorable (I have two stamp sets that match her.)
After cutting all the components I used some ink to shade the edges and give her a bit of dimension. I then added some flowers for that tropical flair. (I've decided to name her Lola and sit her on my desk! LOL)
I hope you will join us in the fun this week! I love seeing all the creativity in the gallery!

Lola is adorable! Fabulous fold it card. Love how you used the challenge colors plus your dessert green to create this fun, tropical friend. Fantastic ideas!

Now that Barry Manilow song is playing in my head! So is this Lola a showgirl? I think yes. She is adorable with her flowers and bright colors. Looking at her makes me smile!

Lola is certainly colorful, in more ways than one, I might add! A fun shaped card is always a nice change from the norm. Your leaves and flowers are such pretty additions~
