Stampin' Up! Tropical Party and I create Summer inspired cards

Hi all!
I'm back again with some more summery cards... as we are moving into Autumn here, it seems weird that I've had a sudden flash of summer inspiration... I blame the weather, it isn't autumny yet, still quite summery
I am entering this card into the Less is More challenge, which was to make a one layer card which was off the edge. I have used a few ink colours with the leaves, and the masking technique to get the leaves to sit 'behind' the flowers. The sentiment is from Upsy Daisy, and is a very versatile in what style it can be used on. I like how this card turned out. 
The second card I have to show you, utilising the stamps from Tropical Party, is one I made on Wednesday with Kim, it is actually an almost direct case on a card I made a little while ago. 
This time, I embossed the trees in black, and chalked instead of inked the background. The sentiment is also different, this time using the Sale-a-bration set So Happy For You, which I don't use nearly enough... Anyway, the football is going to start soon, and I have to get some uni work done before settling down to watch the game... so, until next time
Happy Stamping!
