MFT August Creative Challenge--Paper Paradise

Our team has been playing in a tropical crafting paradise for this month’s challenge.
Palm trees, fruity drinks, and cool blue waters are are just some of the delights
you’ll experience as we showcase stamps and Die-namics with a tropical theme.
Take a trip with us! 

My card is a nod to thatched huts and hula skirts that appear in this month's release.
I used the Die-namics Fringe and cut several rows from kraft card stock and
adhered them to a kraft card base.

I cut a strip of green diagonal patterned paper from the new Dots & Stripes 
Fresh Patterned Paper Pack and adhered it across the top row of fringe. The
toucan from Birds of Paradise, and florals from Blissful Blooms were white
embossed and ink distressed, diecut, then adhered to the card.

I used white pigment ink and sponged around the edge of the card, and the ends
of the fringed rows, and white embossed the sentiment. The final touch was to add
a googly eye from my stash of embellies. How sassy does that bird look?
