Mary is our hostess this week and gave us some lovely colors that said "beach" to me! And for dessert she is giving us the option to add another color.
Boy did I go for dessert! I added several, although technically they are all neutrals and allowed by the challenge as not another color. I am going to say my dessert is the Speckled Egg DO ink as it is very close to Coastal Cabana. The Bundled Sage is a sub for the Old Olive. I used these plus the Antique Linen to give some shading to the shells. And I'm not sure what color my "sea glass" shapes are but they also look Coastal Cabana.
I hope you will join us this week. We love seeing all your creations!

As much as I would never have thought of beach for these colors, the way you used them is perfect, Jeanne! Love the woven background and the pretty shell die cuts!

Fabulous use of the challenge colors. Love the beach theme with the palm trees, woven embossing, the shells and twine. The Crumb Cake was the perfect addition. Wonderful inspiration!

Jeanne, you really nailed the beachy vibe with this card. The combination of the woven textured layer with the palm trees and the perfect greeting make for a wonderful card!

Exceptional layout and design! I love where your thought process went while creating this beauty! The embossed background just added to the Wow factor as well! Love it, Jeanne! TFS
