Hi, y’all!
It’s Wednesday again and time for a new Color Throwdown challenge! Are you ready?
Well, you should be! Barbara is our hostess and the color combo she chose is fabulous: aqua, cobalt blue, and gray!
~
Y’all know I’m a huge beach-going Southerner, and these colors are right up my alley! So I decided my card would be a tribute to the sea!
~
I smooshed the background in Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass, then lightly sprinkled on some Ultramarine Blue Color Bursts powders.
I added some Mudd Puddles glass pieces, and the Starfish and shell images are from the Unity Beach Cottage Collection. (You can click on the images to see them full size.)

The layout I used is from this week’s Sketch Saturday #373:
~
So now it’s your turn! Let’s see what you can create with this wonderful palette! Just leave us a direct link to your blog post or online gallery on today’s post at the Color Throwdown blog.
Here’s some great inspiration for you from the CTD girls!

Thank you so much for dropping by!
Just Perfect! You nailed the sketch, the colors and the Beachy "theme"! Your Color Bursts on the distress inks made me go -- WOW! Super pretty shells, LOVE that die and glass pieces?! I think I see something new every time I come by to see what you've been up to creatively. Truly beautiful card and I hope you're getting enough sand on your toes, sun on your cheeks and surf gently lapping to keep you sane.

Your card is so beautifully beachy! I simply have to try and CASE it. Using my Brushos is a challenge in itself~

Very pretty! Love the watercolor background and how it provides the perfect "splash" effect with your nautical card. The waves diecut are so fun in helping coordinate with the Sketch Saturday :)
