My Favorite Place~

Photo Details

Poster: stampin'nana

I'm your hostess for today's Color Challenge and I chose: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Crumb Cake. Dessert: Add any fourth color. Mine is Bashful Blue.
This is also for last week's CAS: Water

I started by sponging on the sand, masking as I went along, then the water and finally the sky. I added IBBG to the sand and then stamped some cattails and grass in espresso. For the sky, I added a few seagulls in smoky slate. The white and espresso panels were die-cut using the stitched framelits and the scene is on foam tape.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you can find some time to create a card or project using these colors! ~Roberta

Roberta, your card is absolutely beautiful. It is a snapshot of one of my favorite days at the beach. I love that you used Itty Bitty Background for your beach! I'd forgotten about that great set of stamps. Your colors for the challenge are perfect for the scene you've created.

Roberta, fabulous colors this week, and you know what they say about great minds! Our cards are similar and yet completely different. I love the scene you created, love the grass a cattails, and the birds. Yes IBBG is the perfect stamp for beaches!
