Okay, I have completed the blog hop for the Caardvarks/Coordinations very first blog hop event both yesterday and today. As I went through the blogs I was so very inspired by all the super duper cards and other projects using this paper! Then I realized . . . I have 2 packs of the Coordination papers and have had them (unopened even) for like a year now.
So I finally got some time tonight and busted the packs out, opened em up and this is what I came up with.

The idea I had in my head for this was completely different than what it turned out to be. As I went along I must have changed my mind like at least 10 times. I am a woman after all, I am allowed to change my mind when I see fit ; )

I like how it turned out. I had to make myself stop though, I just kept wanting to do other things to this card. I wanted vibrant color and I wanted things to stand out. I don't know if I accomplished that but I am happy with it.

I took the card layer and sanded it (mostly in the middle going outwards) till I was happy with it. Then I inked the edges and came up on the card a bit with stampin up tempting turquise. I used basic greys's lime ricky paper for the patterned paper. inked the edges of the orange piece after sanding with stampin up's pumpkin pie. I stamped the palm tree's cut them and pieced them together creating a 3d affect. inserted 3 brads on the edge where the card opens and then stamped the sentiment. the stamps are stampin up as well.

I am soooooooo tired, I have not slept from last night yet. I'm so surprised I made it through the day.
