The Card Concept #109

I bought the pineapple set from Concord and 9th when it was on sale a while ago so I could enter a challenge.  Now I'm using it to enter the Pineapple Party at The Card Concept.

It took a while to decide what to do with the pineapple but then I remembered seeing a painted sign with one on it.  I made my own shiplap by scoring the cardstock and running the edge of my ink cube across it for a Clean and Simple look.

Thanks for dropping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #371

While trying to decide what to do for Freshly Made Sketches, I ran across a NBUS set from Concord and 9th and a card was born.

I went back and forth between what background paper and what color the pineapple should be.  I loved the gold polka dots so cut it with a PTI die and then stamped the pineapple in Altenew Peach Parfait, embossing with rose gold.  Now for the sentiment strip.  I needed something darker and thought the cork gave some texture.    Here's the sketch I was working from.

I know it's square but I rarely do square cards.  They take more postage unless it's 4.25 by 4.25 and put in an A2 envelope which doesn't feel right to me.  Just my reasoning. ;)

Have a great day and thanks for dropping by.
