Gator Fun
by Tricia Barber
Hello! I hope you are having a great start to your summer. I am sharing a card I made with the new Whittle Tropical Gator Kit. This is such a cut kit! I used colored cardstock to die cut the images from the kit. To add details to my die cuts, I used a sponge dauber and some die ink. The gator die comes with some teeth! So cute! I aded a toothy grin to both my gators.
For the background, I started with peach cardstock and then die cut a circle as a mask for the sun. I then used three orange dye inks to ink blend onto my sunset panel. I then splattered the background with white opaque paint. I stamped a sentiment up in the corner that is from the stamp set included in the kit. For the ground, I used the Whittle Field and Trees die and then ink blended onto the aqua panel to darken up.
To assemble the card, I added the palm trees with a mixture of liquid glue and foam adhesive. I used woodgrain cardstock for the palm tree base and coconuts. I added my gators with foam tape and then added some sparkle with several orange and blue fairy jewels. I love the orange sunset! Lot’s of gator fun! Check out the new Whittle Bit of Fun release! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi Tricia, I love this tropical card, the alligators and their teeth look fantastic, and the gator doing the ‘hula hoop’ genius.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
