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.

Just Us Girls #714 - Mood Board Week

Ina has a very colorful mood board for the Just Us Girls challenge this week.

Here's a close-up if you want to see the details.

I was drawn to both the colors and the sea shells and made this.

The images are from Spellbinder's Seahorse Garden, stamped, clear heat embossed, and colored with Zigs and Distress Inks.  The back panel was inked with Salty Ocean (what else) and Tea Dye and sprayed with Diamond Dust Glimmer Mist. Some seaweed was stamped directly onto the background. Then it was just a matter of arranging all the shells and seahorse.  I didn't have a sentiment I thought would fit so I left one off. 

How does this mood board inspire you?  Be sure to check out the Design Team and our guest Denise Morgans to see what they have done.

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.
