I started with a Fog gray card base and then cut a panel about a little bit shorter than the base. I used the Pineapple background stamp on the panel and adhered it to the base. I cut another piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock with the largest of the Cross Stitch Circle dies and stamped the Balloon Strings background in the same color for a tone-on-tone background. I positioned the circle where I wanted it and then cut the excess off with my paper trimmer. I used my Polynesian Paradise dies to cut 3 pineapple shapes and one of the flower clusters. I stamped each image and then colored them with my copics. I gave each pineapple a layer of clear Wink of Stella for some shine and then adhered them to my circle. The 2 pineapples on the bottom are adhered directly to the card and the third pineapple and the flower cluster are adhered with foam tape for dimension. I finished the card by adding the die cut Thanks and some beautiful sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Pineapple Thanks
If there's one trend that I'm in love with right now it's the pineapple trend! I love pineapples! Always have, always will. I needed a thank you card for a friend of ours who helped us with our taxes this year, so I let the pineapples be my guide along with the current MFT Stamps sketch challenge!
