For Colour Challenge CC226 - Baja Breeze, Tempting Turquoise, Apricot Appeal, and Creamy Caramel. I used colours as close as I had.
So my idea was to create a card reminiscent of a post card - you know the ones with a pretty scene and then some location or phrase superimposed over top? Well this is what I came up with - looked much better in my head LOL. But you can't love them all can you?!
Sponged apricot appeal for sun and stamped Inkadinkadoo birds and lighthouse. Distresed and sponged edges of cardstock and added a bit of turquoise ink around the lighthouse and along bottom of card. Layered on Pacific Point and Baja Breeze. Sentiment is stamped and embossed and then layered on apricot cardstock and Pacific Point and then popped up for dimension.
Thanks for taking a peek!
