From playful flamingos to two interpretations of the same cockatoo die, these cards explore tropical imagery through bold teal and pink palettes.
These Lawn Fawn beach scenes showcase two versions of seaside living. One is a tidy coastal cottage, and the other is a more rustic shack with laid-back island character.
This Instax-inspired camera card captures the feel of vacation snapshots with two tiny beach scenes tucked into the photo frames.
This card takes a whimsical approach to tropical crafting with gnomes enjoying a sunny day at the beach.
The roundup concludes with two watercolored cards, one capturing the quiet relaxation of beach chairs facing the water and the other offering a whimsical moment with a cat drinking from a fishbowl.
Seeing these cards reminded me how much I enjoy tropical imagery and beach escapes on paper, making this a fun time to pull out longtime favorites and consider what new products might complement them.
I think my favorite is the Instax camera one. Love the little photos!
