Down To The Sea

What a hot week we have had here in France.  Such a shame it wasn't the summer holidays.  My little girl was a little hot at school this week.  I think they had most of their classes outside under the trees.

 

Its Friday which means its challenge time over at Daring Cardmakers.  Lythan is our lovely host this week and the theme is Down To The Sea.

This is a picture from Lythans home town which was only 5 minutes from her house.  Isn't it just lovely?

 

So this week we would like to see your cards inspired by the sea.

 

I am loving this challenge as I am originally from near Whitby so growing up I was surrounded by the sea.

 

I was inspired to make a beach hut card using the fabulous set from Stampin up called Home Sweet Home.  The set also has a matching die set and it makes the cutest 3D houses.  I used both the stamps and the Thinlit dies.

 

I made the sky by inking around a cloud die cut and then added a little bit more colour to look like the sky meets the sea.

 

I used some kraft card and ripped this into strips to look like sand dunes.

 

I then finished with a few sequins.

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forgot to stop by the Design Team Blogs for more inspiration.
