Too Cool For School - Color Throwdown #477

~

Hey, y’all!

It’s time for the latest and greatest Color Throwdown challenge!  This week Lori has chosen a fresh and fun color combo of Aqua, Orange, and Grey.

Although the inspiration photo shows snowmen (love those quilted place settings!), I decided that these colors would be best used for an ocean scene!  Bet you would never have guessed that!

I couldn’t wait to use this super cute whale from the Essentials by Ellen new S’Whale stamp set.  Fabulous design from Miss Julie Ebersole!!  And perfect for a male birthday card!

I simply sponged Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers onto some watercolor cardstock, spritzed it with water, then stamped the waves and little fish.  I used a Copic multiliner pen to line the bottom of each fish to make them stand out a little more. The panel was die cut with the Wonky Rectangles die, then I sponged on some sky in Tumbled Glass Distress ink.

The whale was also stamped onto watercolor cardstock and painted with Zig Clean Color pens in light gray and blue gray.  I fussy cut him since the matching dies were out of stock when I ordered.

So now it’s your turn to play along with us!  Check out all the details at the CTD blog and get a great view of some super inspiring creations right here:

Nicely emphasized little orange fish. Those belly lines make a difference -- at least on your card. Your water is pretty. Even when you're just coloring the ocean, you make it look so nice and inviting.
Fun card!

You've been a busy stamper! Ack, I love the whale and those little fishies down below. Cute sentiments with this set. You've always got something new and clever. I kinda feel like an old fuddy duddy 'cause I don't shop more.
