Hi!
Have you been enjoying our weekly Colour Creations Blog Shares? I have! It's been fun using colours that I may not have used for a while. Which is a little funny, as this week is Bermuda Bay, a colour that I featured heavily on last week's Basic Grey card!
This week's card started off with a 'I wonder what it would look like if I tried...' thought. In this case, I was thinking about brayering some colour onto the pale Wood Textures DSP.
What do you think? I loved how it turned out! It was exactly the beachy look I was going for. I layered it on a Sahara Sand card base - which is another colour I don't use a lot of, but is a great alternative to Crumb Cake, which was a bit dark for this look.
I used Bermuda Bay (ocean), Sahara Sand (beach), Crumb Cake (trunks), Old Olive (palm leaves), Pool Party stamped off (sky) and Daffodil Delight (sun) to create the scene on the front. I then created a matching scene on the inside.
Once again - no sentiment! I don't particularly have a purpose for this card yet, so I will wait to stamp something else when I know what Im doing with it.
You can find the rest of the group's blog links over at Catherine's blog again this week. It really is amazing how differently we all use the same colour.
Bye for now,
Tina
Great beachy scene Tina. Makes me wish it was warm enough for the beach.
