Make The Cards Challenge #22

  Welcome back friends!

It's time for a new challenge over on  Make The Cards Challenge.
Today we are having a color challenge ...

 

 We are excited to once again welcome Helen Nile back as our guest designer! 

OH what fun I had creating today's card! 

I've used Tim Holtz distress oxide inks in two different ways ...
* with water to create my background panel (using watercolor paper)
* without water ... just sponges to create the panel for my embellishments (using plain white cardstock.

The colors I've used for the background are:
(with water spritzing) ... Mowed Lawn, abandoned Coral, Peacock Feathers & Salty Ocean
(sponged panel) ... all the same but WITHOUT Peacock Feathers


The dies I've used for embellishments/sentiment are:

Cheery Lynn Designs - Flip Flops & Board Shorts (#B499)

 Cheery Lynn Designs - Flip Flops & Board Shorts

 and Impression Obsession Sentiment (DIE690)

Impression Obsession - Dies - Better In Flip Flops

I also die cut the sentiment from black card stock and off set to create a shadow.

Challenges to share in:

My Time to Craft Challene #460 - All Things Beachy

    Ack, I love this so dang much, Darlene! The background is utterly fantastic, and it's so cool how you used the same colors but without water for the die cuts. It looks amazing. The dies are great, and it helps that I just love this color combo, too. Wow!
