I'm happy to be hosting the Color Challenge again - and this week I chose two light blues - Baja Breeze and Bashful Blue and a green - Certainly Celery. My dessert option is to use embossing on your card - either dry or wet.
These colors worked perfectly for my seaside scene with this lovely lighthouse from Sweet N Sassy Stamps.
I stamped the image, die cut it with an Oval Nestability and sponged the three challenge colors as well as some yellow around the light area, then I removed the die which left a nice white frame.
I embossed the green panel with a script embossing folder.
My sketch is from this week's Get Sketchy challenge.

Julia, this is just beautiful and peaceful. This is what I was thinking of doing for the challenge, some kind of water scene. Thanks for the great challenge.
