Island Vibes in Just Jade

We have been going stir-crazy lately.  I didn't have to work yesterday, so we went up to Madison to get Alyssa and we all went to New Glarus, Wi.  We were disappointed to find out the New Glarus Brewery is closed on the weekends.  They make the fabulous Spotted Cow beer, which I do enjoy.  Instead, we went to Bailey's Run Winery.  Fabulous wines!  We all did a tasting and enjoyed them all.  Except for the jalapeno wine Chris tried.  It was spicy hot!   Wouldn't purchase a bottle for drinking, but we could see it being used in cooking.  They also had some great wood-fired pizzas.  It is a place we would definately want to revisit in the Spring/Summer.  It's a beautiful place to sit outside overlooking the vineyards.  

When I saw the Island Vibes stamp set, I knew right away that I wanted it.  Alyssa loves pineapples and I can see using this set for a birthday card for her.  Unfortunately, I'll be waiting for that since her birthday is in December.

Island Vibes is in the SAB catalog.  You can earn it FREE with any $50 purchase.  The sentiment is from the Special Moments set set, also in the SAB catalog.  The stamp set has 21 different sentiments!  I feel in love with it immediately.  It is FREE with a $100 purchase.  SAB does end Feb. 28.  So don't wait too long if you want these sets.

To make it easy, I colored the stamp with the Just Jade and Bumblebee markers.  Don't forget to huff on the stamp after you color it!

I tried to create a shadow of Just Jade under the pineapple piece.  Using the Stampin' Brushes, brush the color on the Basic White piece.  Make sure you will see the color once the Pineapple is adhered.  The key is to make sure you don't brush too much color on.  Use a light touch with the brush.

Sprinkle some enamel dots around, add the bow, stamp the sentiment and you are done with the card.
