The color palette at the Ellen Hutson July Color Trend Challenge: Quietude just screams Mermaid …
so of course, I created with a Pineapple. I couldn't resist inking-up my neglected Essentials by Ellen Stay Golden Stamp set in these fun colors for the City Crafter Pineapple Challenge. I also needed one more Thank You Card for my trip to Junkie Fest 2018 in Minneapolis next week (watch my Instagram for some play-by-play photos), so the sentiment was perfect.
I used the layout from Retro Rubber Stamps since this stamp set dates back to at least September 2016. Instead of a scallop punch for the border, I incorporated the overlapping circle design from the cake in the inspiration photo.
I'm pretty sure I will be making an inspired Mermaid card before the challenge ends … those colors are just too pretty to resist.
Oh I LOVE the pineapple in the purple color!! So fresh and fun!!!
They are pretty colours and a purple pineapple is a showstopper! I like the way you’ve used overlapped circles for the borders on the sketch. Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge this week.
What a fun card using both the colors and sketch Stef! love that colorful pineapple front and (left of) center!! great use of the circles for your scalloped edges!
Love your card! Your choice of colors is fantastic!! Thank you for playing with us at Retro Rubber and hope you can join us again soon.
THis is amazing!!! Who would have thought to make a pineapple this color, but I LOVE it! That circular border is clever too! Thanks for sharing this with us at Retro Rubber this week!

OMG I love the scalloped border you have created, with that giant Pineapple. Great colour scheme and use of the sketch. Thanks for playing along this time at Retro Rubber. Claire DT
