Nothin' but blue skies

Made this digital layout with freebie kits from Sweet Shoppe. Photo of my trip to a local unique sea destination called 'Sky Mirror' in Kuala Selangor, Malaysia. 

The Sky Mirror is actually a seabed that appears above water during low tide, exposing an expansive sand flat that's approximately the size of a hundred football fields! You'll get to indulge in unparalleled views of the sky and sea during these precious moments of low tide.

Entering this layout for the Challenge YOUrself#96.
 

Jingle All The Way

 

stamp: freebie from craft magazine

others: leaf dies, border punch, pastel, Copic, Spellbinder circle die, white gel pen

The santa clear stamp is a freebie from craft magazine. I stamped it onto a small piece of white cardstock, coloured with Copic and fussy cut out the image.

On another piece of white card stock, I coloured the background with lilac pastel and dotted with white gel pen to create snowy scene. Adhere to the back of the front panel card which was cut out with a circle die. I used foam tape to prop up the Santa image. 

Embellish the card with diecut leaves from the left over cardstock that was made for the background scene. Punch the border of a patterned paper and adhere to the bottom of the card. Stamped the sentiment with red ink pad to finish it off.
