Can You Handle the Pressure? Masculine Twist

I was lucky enough to get an honorable mention at Can You Handle the Pressure?'s last challenge and now I'm back with another card.  You don't have to use the masculine twist but I do think this card qualifies.

I could have inked up my own background but I thought this Honey Bee paper filled the bill once I embossed it with Spellbinders' Scallops.  The seahorse and shells, also from SB, were stamped on Bristol and colored with Zigs.  Once cut, they were arranged on a piece of vellum that had the sentiment from HA stamped on it.  Luckily I could hide the glue behind some of the letters to hold the top in place. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I wish you oceans of Joy too.

Color Hues #73 and Color Throwdown #763

I love it when cards fit more than one challenge without having to do some searching.  Two challenges that I regularly play in have almost the same color challenge.  I orginally made my card for Color Hues - coral and blue - but saw today (time is running out to enter) that Color Throwdown has coral, light blue and navy.  I hope my colors are close enough.


It all started with Mica Spray for the background to make my ocean, then the panel was cut with Honey Bee's Deckle Edge Rectangle.  The seahorse and seaweed are from a Spellbinders set designed by Dawn Woleslagle from WPlus9.  The seahorse was painted with Abandoned Coral Oxide and the weeds with Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers Oxides.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great week.
