Paper Playtime Challenge #76 - Vacation!!

Happy Monday, everyone!! I hope you had a fabulous weekend!! It's the first Monday of the month, so that means it's time for a Delicious Die Cuts Challenge at Paper Playtime!! For Challenge #76, we are asking you to create a VACATION card using any type of die cut or die cutting machine for your project :)

We have two sponsors for this challenge!! Our very own Design Team member Sharon of  MeeMee's Creations is sponsoring with 2 packs of 6"x6" paper pads by My Mind's Eye Lost & Found: Union Square and Madison Avenue!! Our second sponsor is The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Castle Shoppe with a pack of 4 Action Wobbles!!

My card represents my very favorite type of vacation...relaxing in a chair under an umbrella by the ocean :) The base of the card is a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Rectangle. The next layer is a Nestabilities Label 8, inked with Tumbled Glass Distress ink on top and Scattered Straw on the bottom to represent sand. The next layer is a Nestabilities Label 10, inked with the same two Distress Inks.

The chair is from Life's A Beach, cut in Core'dinations paper and sanded for texture. The umbrella is a Spellbinders Surf's Up die, inked with Forest Moss, Tumbled Glass and Scattered Straw Distress Inks and covered with Glossy Accents.

A Beaded Circle die was used to represent the sun, with a Standard Circle Small popped up with foam on top, and inked with Wild Honey Distress Ink. "Kick Back and Relax" is from the new K Andrew Designs stamp set, Guy Talk:
