Pineapple of My Eye

I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year.  I love how all of the crafty companies are releasing exciting new products.   So many of my crafty friends are at the CHA Creativation Event in Phoenix getting to see it all first hand ... and I won't lie, I'm jealous.  Jealous of the selfies ... them creating new product samples & attending classes.  Projects that I have made using manufacturer products have been on display at the annual craft show, but I have never quite figured out how to get myself there ... some day I will.  

So instead, I did a little shopping for crafty supplies.  Hobby Lobby had all of their store brand products 50% off, so I stocked-up on supplies including some fun new papers.  When I saw the current Pin-Sights Challenge photo, I knew it was the perfect time to break out some of them.

I drilled in on the gorgeous grey combined gold and a pop of aquamarine blue ... as well as a happy, uplifting sentiment.

I can't quite figure out how to get my lighting positioned correctly to capture the metallic papers ... these are super-shiny.  I used Delicata Golden Glitz Ink on my pineapple and the background of my flower.  The rest is stamped in Aquamarine.

Stephanie, I adore this card so much! That sentiment is fantastic! I have a long-standing love affair with pineapples after spending many holidays on my aunt & uncle's pineapple farm while growing up. Beautiful work!
