The inspiration picture makes me think of Hawaii. Which is where I was born! That is why the sentiment I used for today's card is the Hawaiian word "Mahalo"
Mahalo means
exclamation (mainly in Hawaii) used to express gratitude.
"mahalo for your support"
noun
(mainly in Hawaii) an expression of gratitude.
"a big mahalo goes out to these volunteer groups"
For this card, I did my best at trying to match the colors with what I have at home. For the background, I did a alcohol ink blowing technique on Yupo paper. The sentiment was die cut, 4 times. For the top layer, I swiped perfect medium over the top and then put embossing powder on top. And then I heat set it. Then, the 3 other pieces were layered underneath to give some dimension to the sentiment. The flowers and the leaves were first die cut and then stamped. To make it easier on myself, I numbered the back of the stamps, so I would remember what order they go in.
