This is my card for CC589. Barbara is our hostess and she chose rose red, elegant eggplant and island indigo for her color trio. Dessert is to use ribbon.
This week we are also saying goodbye to Peggy and so we decided to dedicate the challenge to her this week. You can read more about it here. I went with a beach themed card because Peggy loves the beach. Well who wouldn't- living in Florida (lol)!!
I am using some new dies from Reverse Confetti and also their June sketch #37. Love the octopus as well as the little crab stamps and dies.
My background dsp is from the Stampin-Up "festival of prints" collection. I thought the stripes gave it some nautical appeal. The colors in the paper are island indigo and early espresso. Espresso is a deep rich brown shade but sometimes it wants to photo darker and look black. I am using it as one of my neutrals this week along with very vanilla.
Stamped my octopus and crab in rose red and the whale in island indigo. To get the eggplant shade on the card and dessert, I used elegant eggplant ribbon and candy dots. The side flags are cut from early espresso cardstock.
The sentiment is from the Reverse Confetti "seaside" set. I stamped in elegant eggplant ink. I chose this sentiment because Peggy has done a fantastic job for the past 7 years for our team. Goodbye and God bless my sweet friend!!!
Hope you can play along with us this week. Check out the other DT samples for more inspiration.

What a fun & sweet card to dedicate to Peggy. The sentiment pun is great! Love the adorable sea creatures. The stripes are great and create movement across your card. The colors are well balanced. You even have some creative uses of ribbon. Awesome card! TFS
