Christmas On The Beach!

 

Hello! I am dreaming of a beachfront Christmas today. Last year we went to Destin, Florida for a vacation and I fell in love with that place. I am a Colorado native and have gone to the beach a handful of times. In February of this year, I went to the Northwest Pacific Coast with a friend and loved the beach there also. It is amazing how different and beautiful the colors of the two beaches could be.

I really like Lawn Fawn's Build A House die set, so I decided to play around with the new Beach House Add On a few days ago.

For this card, I used a lot of different Distress Oxide inks for not only the background but the card elements. I used white Bristol paper for everything except the house and fence, which is White Woodgrain cardstock. I did use gold holographic paper for the Christmas lights.

I thought that I had the Christmas Palm Tree die, but unfortunately, I didn't so I used the string from the Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables, the large raindrops from the Rainy Backdrop for the little lights and the Palm Trees die.

The additional die sets that I used are: Build A House Christmas Add On, Scalloped Treat Box Beach House and Build A House Spring Add On.

For the sentiment, I used Winter Big Scripty Words Hot Foil Plates with Gold Glimmer Hot Foil.

While this card was a wee bit time consuming, it was really fun to play with the different inks to see what different color combinations I could come up with.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you are enjoying you summer and hopefully a trip to the beach is included.
