I had purchased all four of the Spellbinders birdhouses when they were released and this is the last one for me to use on a card. I thought this week's colors (Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock) had a beachy vibe perfect for a lighthouse shaped birdhouse. And, since I had made a birdhouse card for this challenge earlier this week, I thought it would be fun to make another.
I die cut the full MFT die in vanilla and then just sections with the two blues and assembled. I left one of the vanilla pieces out and doubled up on one section with the vanilla and peacock blue for different looks and depths. All the other die cuts are part of the this set, which is Summer.
I really love this color combo and I think it makes a great beach scene. And, I had fun playing with all the fiddly pieces to boot. I hope you are having fun playing with your stash too. TFL.
P.S. I know my vanilla looks white in the pic, but it really is a vanilla color IRL.

Such an adorable summer bird house, Debbie! I love the sea gulls floating on the currents in the sky, love the little seashells, but of course, the wonderful bird house with its nautical elements is the star of the show. Love this!

You are right, these colors do have a beachy vibe. You proved it. This lighthouse die set was perfect. Love your beautiful card. The nautical birdhouse is so fun. Congrats on being the CC favorite for last week!
