Mary gave us a wonderful combination of colors for todayÂ’s Color Challenge:
Calypso Coral
Pacific Point
Smoky Slate
Soft Sky
Summer Starfruit
Neutrals: white or Smoky Slate
Dessert: a nautically themed card.
Mary asked that we use at least three of her listed colors. I used them all to create this masculine card that is ear-marked as a FatherÂ’s Day card for a dear friend who spends his winters on the Gulf in Florida and summers on the shores of Lake Michigan. Mary was correctÂ…Â… these colors worked beautifully for a nautical and masculine card.

I knew yours would be so beautiful and you didn't disappoint. Gorgeously colored image. Love the grass stamped off the edge and your twine is the perfect accompaniment.

Sallie, Don't tell me you are not comfortable making masculine cards, because this is fabulous. Beautiful brayering, and perfect colors for this wonderful beach scene. Your friend will love this.
