I loved some of the colour combinations this morning - I like the turquoise and red, DH wants a Pina Colada inspired card. But I'm not so hot at colour challenges, so when I saw the one and only item in the masculine section it made me think of sand pictures and how I always think they'd make good backgrounds. DH didn't like the curly chocolate bits at the top so I felt free to ditch those , but I did add brown with my stamping.
A2 kraft base, edges sponged with Frayed Burlap.
Background sponged with Rusty Hinge, Bundled Sage, Iced Spruce and Tumbled Glass. I used a fingertip to add splotches of Rusty Hinge and Chipped Sapphire to the sky and painted a blue line with Chipped Sapphire.
Image and Woodware sentiment stamped with Vesafine Sepia, and I coloured in the antelope with Frayed Burlap. DH was reluctant to allow the sentiment but conceded I could add a small discreet one.

What a beautiful bg you created, Sabrina! Your card has a fantastic CAS quality with a sort of ethnic, natural look. Hope you're well in spite of the wet weather, say Hi to DH!

I think it rather funny to have soap make your mouth water, but that sure is what's happening to me looking at all these. The masculine soap was wonderful and you made a wonderful card from it. Perfectly named too as the antelope does look rather spellbound.
