As you can tell I took the photo inspiration and used it quite literally from the color palette to the horizontal sandal stripes to the coconut drink!  I love it though as I would have never in a million years thought to make a holiday card like this.

  1. Fun CHristmas card – my thoughts exactly – who needs snow (especially when you have button dies)?! 🙂 I should use mine more too!
