This weekend I worked on my monthly swap cards. April’s theme is a sketch challenge. Here is my swap card using the Tropical Chic bundle and Tropical Escape DSP.
(After going through the pictures, be sure to check below to learn how to make this card for yourself!)
I used the Tropical Escape DSP for 2 of the panels; however, I didn’t have enough DSP in a black and white print, so I just created my own!
And, of course, no naked card interiors here! I added some stamped leaves inside to tie in the colors from the front of the card.
I hope you enjoyed this tropical-themed swap card and are inspired to create one of your own.
