I am your hostess this week and I have chosen tempting turquoise, pumpkin pIe, crushed curry and for dessert: treats of summer...Feel free to interpret this dessert loosely! For this card, I consider relaxing in a spot like this one of the treats of summer!
I started by die cutting a white panel with the Snow Drift Cover die and then I took each of the negative pieces and sponged them either to look like sand, water, or a sunset (I masked for the sun). On the 2 sand sections, I also stamped the splats from French Foliage, and on the water sections I splattered with water and with diluted white acrylic paint. Then I removed the mask for the moon, and put these pieces back into their spots in the snow drift die which I had placed upside down, so I could then put dimensional tape on the back ( I also flipped over the sponged panels of course).
I cut a black cs panel to fit my card front, and attached that. Then I flipped over the panel with the scene and dimensionals and attached to the card front - it gives the card a nice heft, which I love. Embossed the sentiment on black cs, and die cut and attached the chair, birds, sentiment panel and sailboat. Very happy with how this turned out, and I think it can work for a guy as well as a gal!

Only one word can describe your card. AWESOME beautiful job of sponging. Thanks for playing along with us at Shopping Our Stash for the Dude challenge.
Wonderful card! The panels are so effective with the scene. I definitely need to CASE this one. Thanks for sharing your great take on the YNS Color challenge.
