Tropical Challenge at Fantabulous Cricut

They're having a challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut and I couldn't resist.  I just got the Life's a Beach cartridge and haven't really had a chance to use it yet. I think this card is sa-weet!


I used Core'dinations paper for the leaf.  After I cut it, I turned it over and used my embossing tool to make the veins.  I flipped it over and lightly sanded the surface to expose the lighter core.  Cool, huh?  The pinapple is embossed in my Cuttlebug.  Because I wanted the fruit, straw and umbrella in different colors, I  used my Gypsy to hide some of the cuts.

RECIPE
Life's a Beach - Pineapple cut @4.5", Leaf cut @5.25" x 4"
Bo Bunny - A4 card
Corner Chomper
Core'dinations Paper
Clear Dollar Fruity Fun Stamp
Brown Twine
