Aloha DT Blog Hop!

Aloha everybody!! here we are for another fun blog hop hosted by Michelle Perkett. She, so generously as always, gave us another gorgeous image to work with: Leilani.
If you get here from Jan´s blog you are on the right way if not you can go back to the beginning to have fun with us!
And because this is a party I made two cards and a favor box

This set has a invite card, a thank you card and a palm tree favor box. I wish I had more time to finish everything I had in mind, so many ideas but so little time...

For the invite I started with a plane turquoise card, I computer generated and printed the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and placed it to the front of the card, then I glued green glitter on the Luau word and let it dry before I stitched a piece of acetate I painted some waves and a green border with acrylic paints from behind. I colored Leilani with colored pencils and added lots of glitter to make her sparkle! and place it on the card with foam tape. The flower: I went to the party store and I brought a Hawaiian necklace (those so pretty with flowers) and took three of them, glued them together and made the center with glitter before placing it on the card.

I then took another turquoise card and cut it in half to make the thank you cards

this time I painted the waves (and seagulls) directly on the front of the card with acrylic paint and some glitter glue ont he waves. I took a strip of green wrap paper and folded before placing it to the card. I colored another Leilani and cut it before attaching it to the card with foam tape. I used a piece of ribbon to hide the borders and finished the card with a flower and a tag.

And the last project is a favor box

does it looks like a palm tree? I hope so!!  I used a pattern for a triangular box you can find it here. I printed it out on craft cardstock and sponged it (using a border template I cut with scissors) to make it look like a palm tree bark, I made two holes where I made go through several pieces of green ribbon as if were leaves. I tied the box with bow made of yute and I used two brown buttons as coconuts and secure the end of the bow. I cut the sentiment in a flag shape I love so much and instead of using another button to secure it I glued glass seed beads.
Hope you like this as much as I did making them!
I need to add a few words to the DT members, there is nothing else I din´t say already! shortly, so we can continue with the fun, I feel so glad I was part of this group, you ladies made me grow in many ways I never imagined and I´ll cherish all this time for the rest of my life! you are so talented and the source of my inspiration, thank you so much for that!! and a big thanks to Michelle for the opportunity to be part of her DT, I enjoyed every second, thank you! thank you! thank you!!
