This week's color challenge is to use Tempting Turquoise, Peekaboo Peach, and Berry Burst. I also used Smoky Slate as my neutral colored jar.
I used this week's sketch, slightly modified, to make this card. I reduced the size of the diamond so it wouldn't completely cover my jar.
I was working on this card and didn't like it much so I left it alone for a while. When I came back, I decided to use the Irresistibly Yours dsp to make the lower portion of the card. I like it much better now. I sponged Berry Burst on the dsp, die cut the jar out of it and added it to the card base.
I used white baker's twine but colored it with Berry Burst ink.
There is a lot of second generation stamping on this card - the turquoise water and most of the spots are second generation, though I forgot a few times with the spots! Oops!
You know how some cards come easily and others are more work? This one definitely came harder, but I'm happy with it now.
Thanks for looking.

Cute! Creative take on the sketch. I like it. Excellent use of the colors. The turquoise and the peach are perfect for a goldfish in water! Well done, my friend. TFS
