Its been some time since I have put a card into the Colour Challenge - but here is one for this week.
I am dreaming of being at the beach - but the crowds down there for the summer holidays are just too much at the moment. Once school goes back at the beginning of February I might think about it. Till then I will have to dream.
I die cut the turtles from brown card (not quite as dark as it looks in the photo) and again from a gelli plate print. I then pieced the turtle shell with the gelli plate print.
I think this card has all the colours for the challenge.
Thanks for looking. Hope you enjoy the lovely sea colours.

This terrific watery scene jumped right out at me from the gallery. Everything about this is fabulous Helen. I hope you find a cool spot over the coming days my friend.

Your gelli plate works so well as the turtle shell Helen! I love your underwater scene. The sentiment fits perfectly too. These beautiful creatures are so graceful in their element. Super card!

What a beautiful watery scene! I love those sweet turtles. I share your longing for the beach (in my case, it will be closer to 6 months until it's warm enough here for that).

This card made me smile. Those turtles are wonderful and the water that is so full of seaweed really makes me think of summer, but of course, it is summer where you live. Not so much here, where we have had our first bad snowstorm of the season.
