Collection Four: In the Tropics

And for the last collection I used the sketch that we will be using in our August 2020 Sketch Challenge in the Scrapping for Less: Show & Share Facebook group. I did alter the sketch a tiny bit to work with this kit, but as always... the sketch challenge is to inspire, not require. And I wanted to share a creative way to make 6 x 6" papers work in a slimline card measuring 3-1/2 x 8-1/2". I just combined two different patterned papers from the collection!

Supplies used (not found in the kit):

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink

Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink
