Sunset Coast Cardstock Background Two Ways

I have two gorgeous cards to share today. Both feature the Sunset Coast Bundle and the same layout but I've changed up the colors and embellishments on them. I can't decide which I like better. I saw a card similar to this on Pintrest, it wasn't a card that featured Stampin' Up! products it was a printed card but I still loved it and knew I could do that!

The first one features a Basic Beige front and bold colors to make up the stripes. It makes the lighthouse really pop! The cardstock colors I used, in order, are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, and Azure Afternoon. I added some shading on the Basic Beige piece around the edges for some texture and finished the card with a simple greeting and some Moody Palette Glossy Dots. The stripes are adhered onto a Basic White piece that is 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". I left a sliver of white between each color to help them stand out.
