Strangely Tropical

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hello Portal Peeps!  Gail here today to hopefully inspire you to join our current challenge with some Off The Edge stamping.

I've used Carmen's Veranda Monkey Face.  He's usually quite off the edge so that made the challenge pretty easy.  I also added Carmen's Veranda Pineapple, for that truely tropical feel and lots of Lost Coast Designs Sketchy Rose stamp.

I stamped the monkey with brown archival and masked.  Then I stamped the pineapple, inking the fruit with yellow and the leaves with green archival ink.

I stamped the rose with pink archival ink, using 4 masks to allow me to fill up the background.

 I used green gel pens for the monkey's eyes and used brush markers to add some scribbled colour to the flowers and pineapple.   I've also got a layered die cut in there, but I'm still trying to decide if I like it, so I'm not gonna say too much about it LOL.

Thanks for dropping by.  Join the Off The Edge fun for your chance to win Lost Coast dollars.  Hugz
