For SC600 we were to pick from SC500-599, I chose SC533 from before I was participating on SCS. I used this week's color scheme (CC590). First I sponged Soft Sky around the full moon. I sponged So Saffron in the moon to give it some color. I sponged both Pacific Point and Wild Wasabi in the water part of the card, then cut out the swirly water in both of those colors and paper pieced them back together as the sea often appears to be a mix of blue and green. I stamped the starfish on Crumb cake with crumb cake ink, stamping off once for one of the layers and then full strength for the second layer. I asked my daughter if I should add a sentiment in the moon and she said I should leave it blank so I took her advice. Love these colors together and it was a fun card to make. TFL.

Catherine, you are definitely an SU girl! Isn't it amazing how we have children old enough to give us their opinion. Your card is lovely. I love that die and your masked son. I think your card looks great w/o a sentiment.

I love how you used the sketch. The mix of green and blue for the sea is definitely what we see. (That sounds weird but you know what I mean.) I agree with your daughter, no sentiment was the way to go!
