Crafty Color Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to For The Love of Stamping! Today's post is for a color challenge blog hop that features these colors - Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo & Highland Heather.

It is the dead of winter here in Ottawa, Canada and I need a vacation!  Well not sure that is going to happen anytime soon so I will have to live vicariously through creating tropical cards. 

I am loving this color challenge! Don't these colors Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo & Highland Heather go well together?

Here is how to create this card.
