So a couple of weeks ago, I entered a card in a color challenge at The Color Throwdown and I was chosen as that week's Featured Stamper :) Lovely surprise, that! So today I get to be a guest designer for this week's new challenge, and I think maybe they picked these colors just for me 'cause I love them! Take a look:
Gorgeous, am I right? I love them all. Maybe it's weird to love Sahara Sand, but it's like a perfect light-colored neutral, and Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana are just awesome so ya know I think this one's a winner. Actually, I even made two cards with these colors, but here's the one I'm sharing today:
It took me a while to settle on using By the Tide, but I like how this turned out. Once again Gorgeous Grunge sneaks back onto my stamping table! I like that spatter stamp for a nice sandy background, perfect for a beachy card. And here it is cold and rainy outside where I am and it's almost June :p
Check out the Color Throwdown blog for more beautiful creations. So glad I was asked to be a guest designer!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: By the Tide, Gorgeous Grunge, Four You
Ink: Sahara Sand, Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Early Espresso
Paper: Sahara Sand, Whisper White
Accessories: Hexagon punch (for the end of my banner, honestly I rarely use it for hexagons), Dimensionals

You made a gorgeous card! Great color choices for the images- way to work the challenge! :)
wow awesome card.. love the kraft background..
Won't be cold and rainy for long -- well, it will be THERE, but you won't be THERE much longer. Dad was saying you'll be back in about 5 weeks. Wow, I absolutely CANNOT BELIEVE THAT -- nor my good fortune! Love you!
I'm so glad you share my love of these colors, and so glad you made a beach inspired card! It's gorgeous!!! Thanks for being our Guest Star Stamper this week!
Congrats on the GD spot at Color Throwdown! I love how you carried through with not only the colors but with the beach theme, your card is beautiful!
Love your CAS beach scene! I'm a big fan of the Gorgeous Grunge set...use it all the time!
