I am delighted to be part of the Color Challenge Design Team this month as a guest artist. I am looking forward to having some inky fun and seeing all the great projects everyone loads to the gallery.
Today we are challenged to create a masculine or ocean themed project with a wonderful combination of Night of Navy, Balmy Blue and Lemon Lime Twist. I decided to use my new Sea of Textures stamp set and dies, which I bought before the bundle disappeared! These colors are perfect for it! I started by creating a background on some watercolor CS by applying all three colors of ink and spritzing with some water. I used a paper towel to lift some of the ink and create a bit of texture. I stamped some seaweed at the bottom.
I used a scrap white piece to stamp my octopus using all three colors of ink. I die cut that out as well as the net, Sea grass, seaweed and small fish. I sponged on color where needed and used a crimper to add texture to the grass. I assembled my scene and added some sea life wood elements and an embossed greeting.

Another spectacular looking ocean scene Kathy!!! I really like the pockets of color just like you'd see in the ocean. I also like all of your textured pieces. A very nicely put together card!! :>)
