Well hello there

Today I was again ispired by several challenges to create a card. 

And I needed so many supplies! One of the themes is tropics, so I selected a crocodile stamp that I have had for at least three years now. But also the flower in the "Winter foliage" set looks like it would be at home in a tropical setting. 

 I started by ink blending the background with a medium pale green of the ink set. Then I stamped a canopy of leaves with the darkest ink. I did this directly onto the card base. 

I then stamped the flowers and the crocodile and colored them in with markers. Crocodile has to hide, so I made him/ her blotchy, but went all out on the flowers. I then die cut the tropical greenery and also colored it with markers to match the crocodile.

The 'hello sunshine' die cuts were left overs from the sunflower card, but they seemed very fitting here.
