Today's card uses a color combo I wouldn't normally have picked myself, but I think it looks fabulous! Arielle's colourQ challenge this week uses the colors Real Red, Bashful Blue, Taken with Teal, Basic Black, and Whisper White. Quite a striking combo! I needed a little help with the layout today, so I used this week's sketch challenge at SCS.
Here's my card...
I just love that cute little whale! I used my Taken with Teal, Bashful Blue and Real Red markers to make him multi-colored. I free-hand cut the waves out of Bashful Blue cardstock. The sentiment stamp was also colored with markers - Taken with Teal and Basic Black.
Catch you later! :)

ReplyDeleteThat stamp is really cute, but what I love the most about your card is how you have two strong patterns in there, the spots and the check, that work so well together. It's a beautiful card.
