Aloha Pineapple card with Quick Quotes

TGIF!  Let's get this party started with another pineapple card    If you missed the first one, HERE it is.  On this card, I used the same Quick Quotes papers and less embellishments so that it would be more flat and hence mail-able.  I also tried a paper band closure. 

I did use a few gems on this card but only on the outside so the fold would be as flat as possible.

I chose this Stamplorations Aloha as the sentiment.  In keeping with the soft pastels of the Quick Quotes papers, I used a Distress embossing powder.

The back fully extended.  I cut a dozen leaf sections to cover both the front and back sides of the card.  I also fully decorated the back with the matching oval dies.I split the two side panels down the center for an easier fold.

Ingredients:

Sizzix Jen Long Fold a long Pineapple die

Quick. Quotes Powderpuff chalking inks:  Green with Envy, Desert Sun, Humuhuma-nukunuku-apua'a (a very special Hawaiian inspired color)
