This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 335. OK so I saw today's sketch and after I got off the floor and stopped crying I decided to give it a try anyway. I DO NOT do well with angles, multi layers, or mixed dp's. Just can not get it. I can combine 16 challenges into 1 creation but just have a hard time with angles, adding a lot of layers, and mixing dps, go figure. Also after skipping out of last weeks challenge bc of all the layers I did not want to miss another SC.
So here it is for what is worth. Rather than having 3 different dps I chose to take one dp and make the angles and layer it from there. I used some Echo Park - Splash dp and marina mist cs for the matts. I stamped the sentiment all the way around using pacific point. I wanted a graduation of blue hues. I colored this darling image using copics and matted on marina mist then popped it up.
My color combo of BLUE, GREEN, & TAN is from Taylors challenge last night over at the SWEET N SASSY JUNE RELEASE BEACH PARTY and also from Shelby's INSPIRATION CHALLENGE using that darling Hawaiian Shirt. WhooHoo wish I could go to that island today and just get some R&R.
I love how this turned out and hope you do too.

Neva, I had to chuckle at your statement of combining 3 zillion challenges on one card and being challenged to mix DPs. I would have never guessed that to be true! Your card is darling and I like the same DP used for the bg, but cut into angled pieces.

Oh, this one is darling! I just love those little mice on cards lately! I agree that some of these challenges can be a bit much. I've never cried yet, but have felt frustration more than once. Wonderful job on this project! Yes, let's call it just that! = ) I'm sure you feel quite accomplished now that you're finished and it looks so cute!

Neva--this is so cute!!! And the bg paper is just perfect for this sand castle card with those cute little mice. You did a great job with your angles! TFS

Love the look of beach umbrellas behind those cute mice! Your main image is so great, it's good to have a single dp!
