I created a tropical paradise for my card. I needed a bit of sunshine and tropical was my answer.

The background cardstock is Gina K Designs, possibly. I used Catherine Pooler Designs Tropically Yours, 2018, to emboss the leaves and swirls. The focal image uses Stampin Up Beach Happy, 2019. I fussy cut the palm leaves and hat. I saw this idea on Pinterest but the maker used a die to cut her background. The rest of the card is very similar using what I had.
This will be entered in Retro Rubber Challenge:

This will also be entered in Sisterhood of Crafters Tropical challenge. I linked it above.
We have had rain and storms for the last 3 or 4 days, so I am craving sunshine. I was able to walk this morning and that felt good. Thanks for stopping by today.

Perfect tropical paradise card. I can just hear the island music.
That would be so wonderful to hear the music and ocean. Thanks!
What a lovely scene. I’d love to be in that chair on the beach.
I would like to be there also, with a book. Thanks!
Lol, such a fun set, Lisa – and it makes the perfect scene! Love your color choices and your background paper, too – very tropical indeed! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
Thank you!
Beautiful tropical scene. I’ll take dibs on the beach chair. The embossed background really works well with your subtle colors of your beach scene. Hope your rain stops soon and you see some sunshine.
Bright and sunny indeed
Beautiful scene and very tropical in every way. I’m not one for sitting in the sun but I do like the sunshine and warm weather.
Super fun and relaxing scene, much better then our weather here now!!
