Perfection - Best Day Ever! - Kitchen Sink Stamps

What could be better than a day on a Hawaiian beach? I wasn't sure that Hawaii had lighthouses, but I checked it out, and sure enough, they do! So I created this Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card featuring all the elements that would make up my Best Day Ever!

My intention was to create the spray of plumeria across the top of the card by masking and stamping it directly on the card front. I got all the way to the last plumeria at the bottom when I made a horrible misstep and ruined the whole thing. But, guess what!! SVG cut file to the rescue! I restamped the lower plumeria more to my liking on the SVG cut out and glued it over the boo boo! Card saved!!

The images used to create this card come from the following KSS sets:

Plumeria

Lighthouse

Cabin by the Lake

Summer Splashes

Beachcomber's Bounty

Sea Shells

Hawaiian Greetings

The hibiscus from Hawaiian Greeting was then stamped on the SVG cut flip flops using Deep Iris. I then glued on jeweled flower stickers by the Paper Studio as additional decoration for the flip flops.
