Marcy is hosting the challenge in the Crafty Secrets member forum this week and she's asked us to focus on summer treats - particularly the colours. Details of the challenge are here if you have Crafty Secrets goodies and would like to come play!
I've opted for orange, watermelon and lettuce: fresh fruits and salads - yum!
I do like to take my Crafty Secrets stamps beyond the obvious vintage look sometimes! The colour blocks are just "stamped" by inking up my smallest acrylic block and pressing it directly onto the card blank. The starfish were painted with bleach to remove some of the colour - Versafine doesn't react with bleach so your stamped image retains its detail.
Stamps:
Seaside set plus sentiment from Mini Memories (Clear Art Stamps by Crafty Secrets)
Paper:
Smooth white
Ink:
Adirondack dye ink by Ranger (Sunset Orange, Watermelon, Lettuce)
Versafine by Tsukineko (Onyx Black)

Cool card, Joanne! I love the fresh take on using this stamp. The b&w starfish looks so neat on those saturated blocks of color. So glad you got to play!

Fabulous. The first thing that came to mind for me was sorbet colours. Thanks so much for the tip, versa fine doesn't react to bleach, I didn't know that. Way faster than creating masks.
