Daring Cardmakers - Wish You Were Here!

It's my turn to set the Dare this week over at Daring Cardmakers and this is what I've chosen:-

WISH YOU WERE HERE!
As it's Summer here in the Northern Hemisphere (although you could actually disagree with that sometimes, with the mix of weather we get here in the UK) and the kid's will be starting their Summer Break from School. I'd like to see what your idea of the perfect getaway destination is. Is it a Sandy Beach, a Tropical Paradise, Camping/Caravaning, Countryside or even a City Break! What takes your fancy?

I thought it would be a good one to get everyone into 'holiday' mood.

Here's my card:-


I love the seaside and anywhere with a lovely sandy beach is perfect for me. I've always thought what a luxury it would be to actually have your very own beach hut so my card reflects that with this gorgeous beach hut image from Molly Blooms. I masked the beach huts to stamp the sun (PSX) image behind and the birds are 'Flock of Birds' by Hobby Art Stamps.

The papers I've used are by Black Market Paper Society - Lucky 'n Love and all the beach elements are made up from items in my stash including tiny shells, micro beads, Flower Soft, Judikins Roxs.

The Card Candi and large letters are from Craftwork Cards July Project of the Month Kit and I've added Making Memories Tiny Alphas to complete the sentiment.

Card base is 8 x 8 scalloped square also from Craftwork Cards.


Thanks for looking.

    I always love your seaside inspired cards Lynda, the flower soft and the tiny shells - beautiful!
    I'd love a beach hut, we looked into it last summer, the prices are ridiculous - £800 just for a year!

    Your beach huts are gorgeous, Lynda. It's a stunning card. I'd love to live beside the sea too. To be able to walk on the beach everyday would be perfect, although when we go on holiday it's always the Lakes and Mountains for us-strange that.
