Tropical Retreats

Update: If you’re interested in the tutorial of hiw to make the coconut cocktails drink, here it is, enjoy!

:warning: Alert!!! Long blog ahead :warning:

Hello everyone, today I’m sharing my entry for “Craft Your Style”, I actually make the card last week as it is a card for my friend who is going away for a tropical island holiday at September next month and it just happen to be the similar photo as the one in the challenge.

Please see below for craft’s details

1. Which photo did you choose to make a craft

     inspired by?

:point_right: 🏻 Photo #5

2. How have you interpreted the photo/

     incorporated it into your creation?

:point_right: 🏻 When I see this photo it remind me of the

      holiday in tropical island, the white sand and

      the coconut trees also giving me the

      thought of drinking coconut cocktails under

      the trees on the beach.

3.   What style did you make your craft? Kawaii?

      Realistic? Miniature? Other?

:point_right: 🏻 All in one really, I usually work on

      papercraft/miniature and craft base on

      realistic.

4.   What is your usual go-to style of crafting?

:point_right: 🏻 If I am making miniature desserts/cakes I

      like to based them from the real item, I will

      research for the background information,

      the details then I make it, so I suppose you

      can said it is realistic is my usual go-to

      style?! :yum:

5.   Did you find it easy to come up with a craft

      inspired by a photo, as opposed to a theme?

:point_right: 🏻 For me either photos or theme doesn’t

      really bother me, I’ll usually do my research

      on the theme anyway, 🤔 :smile:

6.   Is there a style of crafting you’ve never tried

      before or want to try?

:point_right: 🏻 Resin! So this craft actually giving me a

      chance to post my first resin! which is in

      the cocktails drink, :sweat_smile: I also have help from

      The Resin Queen I purchased my very first

      UV Lamp.

7.   Tell us why you like the style that you craft

      in!

:point_right: 🏻 I think I just like the way I craft as I can do a

      research and learn something new about

      my craft in real life. For example when I am

      creating Japanese Traditinal BBQ-Yakiniku, I

      did a few research before I started to craft,

      in the sometime I learn about what is

      Yakiniku, as I am learning new think and

      gaining new knowledge in the sometime,

      that make me enjoy more.

Bon Voyage Popup Card

˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚

As I explain above, this card were created for my friend who is going for a tropical island retreat at September, it is her first so I thought it will be nice to create a card for her to wish her the best.

:point_right: 🏻 To create this card, I first search for an

      image with a white beach, print it out and

      glued on a white cardstock. Then I

      decorated the white page as the front of the

      card with distress ink, signboard and

      flowers etc.

:point_right: 🏻 I also ed and printed out the

      beach chairs and shells. Using fussy cut

      method I carefully cut them out and glued

      them on the strips (here I created 3

      strips) as you can see here.

:point_right: 🏻 Ensure they can fold nicely then you’re

      done.

This is a photo of the card with a set of tropical drinks which I will post them in the future individually.
