Card #1 was inspired by 3 challenges...
Jingle Belles Challenge // #JB2520 ...A "year-round Christmas" challenge with a theme!! The theme for this current challenge: Home for the Holidays!! For this challenge they want to see a house on our card...how about a beach house?!? Seems fitting since I live in Florida!!
Little Red Wagon // #LRW827 ...A theme challenge!! The theme for this current challenge...H is for Holiday! Have yourself a beachy little Christmas...cause who needs snowflakes when you can have seashells?!?
Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATS&M502 ...A theme challenge!! CHRISTMAS is the theme for this current challenge.
Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...
Festive Friday Challenges // #FF0194 ...An "inspo list" challenge!! From the inspo list honoring National Chess Day, choose 3 of the 10 elements to use on your card. I picked: black, white, and glitter. Using the same elements I created two versions of this card...which one do you like better??
CAS Colours & Sketches // #570 ...A clean and simple sketch challenge!! I used this sketch for both versions of my chess cards...a clean and simple one and one that was a bit more grungy!!

Love the tropical Christmas card. Not everyone lives where it snows for Christmas, right? Love the large sun and rays. Makes it feel "hot". Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!

ReplyDeleteYour beachy Christmas card is such a joyful twist on tradition—those seashells and sunshine instantly transport me to a warmer holiday vibe. The way you’ve blended the challenges into a cohesive scene feels so natural and fun. And your chess-inspired duo? Both versions are striking, but the grungy take adds a bold edge that really pops. Love how you played with contrast and texture while keeping the sketch clean and recognizable. Such a clever and creative start to the week!
