Tropical Flowers This  card is something different for me as I used some free dies from a magazine freebie and only stamped my sentiment. No colouring and everything is from my stash that I cut out but never used, including the embossed background. The flowers were cut in all different colours and I found enough to match the challenge colour. Still have so many left so more cards will be eventually be done. The embossed background looks like a flourish but also found one in my stash so I guess that covers the twist.

The dark green board is stamped using a heroarts background stamp. The sentiment, flip flops and hello is from a Simon Says Set as is the sunshine die. I coloured the hello stamp with copics then cut it out. When it was assembled I thought it was missing something in the top corner so coloured the hibiscus digi from MiC  a couple of times, fussy cut them and layered it in the corner.  I used copics to colour the hibiscus.
