2 cards were created for today's post...

Card #1 was inspired by 3 challenges...

Color Throwdown // #ctd643 ...A color challenge!!  The colors for this current challenge are aqua, iced blue, and pale green.  My pale green almost looks yellow against my blues but by itself it is definately green.  I used Stampin Up's Tempting Tourquoise, Pool Party, and Soft Sea Foam.

Tic Tac Toe // #tttc114 ...A game board challenge!!  My winning three in a row run across the bottom of the board.  Nature, Sea, and Masculine are my winning trio!!

Time Out Challenge // #118 ...An inspiration challenge with a twist.  We are to be inspired by "something in our home" and the twist was to use embossing.  I have seashells all over my house...kitchen, livingroom, bathroom, and bedroom!! For the twist I dry embossed each of the shells on my card.

Card #2 was inspired by two challenges...

Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HHS364 ...A photo challenge!!  I love the pinks and purples in this photo collage!!

CAS Colours & Sketches // #420 ...A color challenge!! The trio of colors for this challenge are Blushing Bride, Soft Sea Foam, and Highland Heather.  Sounds like a beautiful bouquet, right??
