Vacation Vibes

So happy to be the guest designer for this month's challenge at AAA COLOURFUL !

Here's the colorboard.

...and here's what I created.

Sometimes a handmade card can transport you to another place, and that's exactly what I hoped to capture with this design. I created this round card around a stunning tropical sunset, layering it onto a soft turquoise base to bring out the calming colors of the ocean and the sunset sky. A matching satin bow and a pair of tiny seashells add texture and a beach-inspired finishing touch without taking away from the beautiful scenery.

The sentiment inside simply says "Vacation Vibes" making it a cheerful card that's perfect for wishing someone a relaxing getaway, celebrating a holiday, or simply reminding them to take a moment to unwind. We all deserve a little escape now and then—even if it's just through a handmade card !

I had so much fun creating this project, and I hope it inspires you to bring a little sunshine, sand, and sea into your own crafting. 


My Vacation Vibes card can be found at Cricut Design Space.

I want to step into this beautiful, atmospheric scene. You've captured both the colours and the 'vibe' of the colourboard. So thrilled to have you as our Guest Designer.

Deanne, you’re absolutely right, this card does transport you to a different place! I love the colors that you have chosen for this. They’re very different but really create a tropical feel. The bow on the side is a really nice addition too. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
