Long and skinny is the rule of the day. Gosh I wish I was long and skinny. I've never been either, although I've been skinnier. Doing a lot of different stuff is also the rule of the day. This card has been a two day process. It is so hot here, has been for maybe over two weeks, no ac here, it was a pleasure to think about Christmas and snowflakes. I went outside last night during our downpour, felt so good. I ordered a portable ac unit, one that vents outside.
I had two out of the three inks, so I had to improvise the coastal cabana with lost lagoon and few other blue/turquoise inks and also some metallic wc on the tissue paper. There isn't a lot of the tissue stuff, the cross pieces, the snow flake and the star are cut from that. I added some greenish glitter to the star, top cross piece and snowflake to help them stand out. I just loved the colors this week, right in my wheelhouse. This is also for today's sketch, my version, of course.

Wow! I love this! Th Rejoice/star die-cut embellishment is so elegant. I feel the same way, I love creating Christmas in the summer! Not as much in the winter because then it makes me feel colder!

Tall and skinny has been coming back I've noticed. (wish it was for me too, but not the tall part!). Love the shimmer on this and your use of the Tues colors. Pretty card.
