Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper

Well, my eldest turned 19 today. I have a few man cards in my stash, but I was thinking they were too manly, not teenagery! So this morning before he got up, I whipped up a card. And because I was short on time, I CASEd myself, but used Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper instead.

First, here’s the card I cased from a couple of days ago.

Forever Blossoms Stamp Set. Check out another card I made for my teenager using the same layout. - over on my blog.

And here’s my card today.

Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper - retiring soon. Perfect for teenage boys!! Card by Alisa Tilsner

I was going to use the exact same layout, but the extra layers would have covered all the wagons on the DSP, what would be the point in that?

The Large Number Dies retired some time ago, somethings you just can’t part with. I’m just sad I never invested in the matching alphabet. I added a little ombre depth to the 19 using the Cajun Craze Blends.

The Happy Birthday from Label Me Bold (retiring) was a little boo boo but I think worked in well. When I stamped the first image I was going to use, it was a little too heavy due to a juicy inkpad, so I stamped it a second time and got this cool effect. So not really a boo boo, just me too lazy to get the inkpad sorted out.
