CCEE1826 ~ Relax!


Hi friends!

Today's CCEE Stampers challenge is a peaceful one :)
Joanne's last theme for her month of June is ...

"RELAXATION. 
   Create a card that depicts RELAXATION to you.  Can be a place where you are relaxed or what you do to relax."
Thanks, Joanne!  
Your month of June has been filled with fun challenges!
 Because we just got back from vacation,
I'm channeling the sandy beaches and sunsets we saw over on the Gulf side of Florida.
For me, it's an absolutely glorious day when I can sit in a chaise lounge,
under an umbrella and get lost in the salty air ♥


 
This card was a combination of quite a few things.
I previously blended several Tim Holtz distress inks/distress oxide inks to create 
the base layer of sunset/water.
Once that dried {overnight}, I added 3d foam to the underneath of the frame border
and attached it to the card base.
I stamped/die cut and colored the images (literally at 1 am! Like ... today!)
 from Lawn Fawn's Flamingo Together stamps + dies  and Life is good stamp  and die
and just created a simple scene of what our Florida beaches look like :)

The sequins are a gorgeous assortment from Doodles Paper Playground
which I won over on Instagram.
It's called the Peacock Pizzazz Sparkle Blends and just fabulous in real life ♥
Thank you so much, Doodles Paper Playground!
 You can see all the relaxation cards here on the CCEE blog.
Each of the designers created something so calm and serene ~
relaxing indeed :)
You can also find the linky to add your relaxation cards if you'd like to play along,.

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

  2. Love your card with the fab background and the cute flamingos!
    I enjoyed being on the beaches of Miami and Fort Meyer, where we had the most beautiful sunset ever (we then celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary). Fun seeing you on Instagram too!
    Have a great day!
