Betty (gbedwright) challenged us to use Barley Banana, Dusty Durango and Basic Gray!
For the Double Dog Dare Challenge, FRAN challenges you to make a card depicting something you would like to be doing about now! I would love to be in that hammock on a beach somewhere!
You are welcome to play along in the DDC challenge. Just add DDC to your keywords so that we can find your card! Hope you will play!
For the background I used Memento's cantaloupe, potter's clay and SU old olive! I stamped The foliage (Judi Kins) several times and embossed using clear e/p on one side of the background! The Flourishes *Beach Life* palm trees were colored using copics. Barely Banana was stippled around trees! Nesstibilities oval was cut and embossed using the Cuttlebug! TFL!

Oh, yes, does that sound inviting right now. I can feel the warm, balmy breeze as I lay back in the hammock reading a good book, my eyelids heavy with wanting to nap. Sounds like heaven! Beautiful designer paper, thoughts, and card, Fran!

Second best to actually being there is being the thrilled recipient of this card! Fran, I am more than flattered that you chose ME to send it to! I just love how you did the emboss resist BG- it works so beautifully with the whole design of the card! And since my world is STILL covered in snow and ice, this is a gorgeous, tangible and dreamy escape! Your coloring is just fabulous, and all I can say is how much more stunning this card looks IRL! Thank you SO very much!
