Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #70 - Stampin' Up! Wondrous Wreath for StampNation

Lost Lagoon #1


#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

I've neglected my Color Coach Challenge a little bit and when Catherine Pooler at StampNation said that she was going to launch a Housewarming Party to celebrate her new blog and brand, my mind immediately jumped to this idea for a card.



As you all know, here in my home of Australia, it is summer during Christmas. I recently had a week off up the Sunshine Coast for a little holiday and noticed many of the shops had beach decor which echoed sandy driftwood pieces and lots of blue tones. Very summer. Very beachy!

So when I saw the Color Coach combo for Lost Lagoon of Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Pear Pizzazz, I thought they would combine well on a Christmas Wreath and Lost Lagoon would make a perfect beachside shack door. :)


Go to my Facebook page for the chance to win a month's subscription to StampNation! 

If you would like to participate in the blog challenge, the theme of the challenge is HOME. Head over to Catherine Pooler's blog to link up your project. 

Catherine is also offering a 3 day subscription for $1 if you want to see what StampNation is all about. :)


Hope you like my card. You can purchase all the supplies to make this card by clicking through the gallery below.

EDITED: I forgot to add the Whisper White Craft Inkpad to the supplies list below...I used this to swipe over the Lost Lagoon card stock to give it that weathered look. :)

Cheers & Happy Housewarming Catherine!!
