I was a little challenged by Jeanne's lively color challenge but in the end I'll have at least a couple of cards that I'm pretty happy with. This is what she chose:
Blueberry Bushel, + Lovely Lipstick + Coastal Cabana with a nautical theme for dessert.
I blended a background with refills in each of the 3 colors, each mixed with a little white craft to make it easy to blend them. The Coastal Cabana layer with the circle cut out has waves stenciled onto it. I used a laser cut piece from the Come Sail Away Memories and More pack as a stencil for this. A few sailboats quickly colored with Blends and some enamel dots finish it off.
Come play with this one, everyone!

this is a beautiful nautical card Chris- and I love your stencil work and ink blended background- I am going to have to try your technique of using white craft ink for blending

What a stunning card Chris! The ink blended background works beautifully with the Coastal Canbana embossed panel and carries the nautical theme perfectly.

Lovely job brayering the colors, and for using the nautical dessert option. Just beautiful!
