Beach Bucket! - Weekly Cricut Challenge

So I thought maybe I might still need some more weight to ensure that our umbrella did not fall so I made this cute little little beach bucket and filled it with some sand and some starfish!  This was also created for the Cricut Weekly Challenge which was to use primary colour and chalk on diecuts.  Here I used a little chalk on both the sun and the waves.

So I thought I would actually add some sand the to the sandcastle die cut so I stuck it through my xyron sticker maker and then sprinked some of the sand on top to make it actually look like some sand!

I could not resist making a little tag for the handle!   I used some brown chalk on the sun.
