Hey friends, welcome to another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge! This time we are thinking ahead to the winter holiday with Christmas in July! For my card, I decided to go with a beachy theme, so I created a subtle Christmas tree motif using the Lawn Fawn How You Bean? Seashell Add-on with some coral elements that sort of resemble a snowflake from Mermaid for You. I colored the shells with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. The coral I stamped in Peachy Keen and Moonstone Ink.
For the background, I started with a piece of Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock that I die cut with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. Then I blended on Distress Inks, starting in the center with Salvaged Patina, then added in Stormy Sky and finally Chipped Sapphire to darken up the edges. I splattered two shades of metallic gold watercolor using Gansai Tambi Starry Colors, starting from the corners toward the center.
Then I gold heat embossed a sentiment from Christmas Fishes, added my coral with liquid glue and popped the seashells up in the tree shape with foam tape. And to finish things off, I added two different colored crystal gems and some Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside, which you can check out in the video.
