Samantha‘s holiday design features Beachy Christmas and a beautifully stenciled background!

To create the beautiful background, Samantha masked off sections to ink blend sky, sea and sand with Distress inks. She used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold for the sky, Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade for the sea and Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the sandy beach. Then she used Beach Sunset Stencils to create the sunny shimmer on the water.

Then she used a dry brush and some white paint, tapping it where the sea meets the shore to create the sea spray! So clever!

And then, she combined Beachy Christmas with Christmas Fishes to create a fun, gift-filled beach scene! Finally, she white embossed the greeting from Beachy Christmas in the sunny sky.

Thanks so much for sharing this fun beachy inspiration, Samantha!
