Oh how I would love to go away somewhere nice and warm on a holiday at the moment. Melbourne's weather has been so chilly lately, so a nice tropical island would be amazing! Times are very different with not even being able to travel outside of Victoria at the moment, hopefully one day this will change.

| In Color 2020-2022 Magenta Madness |
My card can be my dream that I'm on a tropical island and watching the beautiful colours of the sunset. I've used one of the new In Colors Magenta Madness it's such a pretty pink, I love it so much! The colours that I've used for the watercolour scene starting with the water are Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. For the sky I've used So Saffron, Mango Melody and Magenta Madness blending the colours together with the new Water Painters using the large flat brush apply ink onto the Watercolor Paper. The new brushes are amazing, especially the flat brush.
The tropical island is from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set and Tropics Dies, the palms are in Magenta Madness, for the flowers I've inked up a piece of Shimmery Whisper White Cardstock and using Magenta Madness and So Saffron ink to create a subtle look. The sentiment is die cut out twice and layered on a piece of Basic Back Cardstock, fussy cut out.
On the Thick Whisper White card base I've sponged a little of Magenta Madness ink onto the Cardstock, layered with a smaller piece of Basic Black and Whisper White to finish off the card. This gives a photograph look to the card.
