Undersea Friends

Mornin' y'all!  Ryan is on a two-hour delay for school today so he's got about another half hour before we have to get ready to go.  Tomorrow is a 3-hour early release and at this point I think I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of times this school year that he's gone to school five full days in a row, Monday through Friday in a single week.  Ugh.

Anyway, I have some undersea critters to share today.

I finally used the Ocean Friends stamps!  I got some (probably dog) hair on the stamp, you can see on the lobster's claw, but I kinda liked the effect on there, I thought it gave him some personality.  Check out the colors at CAS Colours & Sketches:

Now, I don't like Poppy Parade and Melon Mambo together so to be honest I was going to skip this challenge until I saw Amanda Mertz's card where she used Ocean Friends with these colors.  So thanks for the idea, Amanda!

I'm also using this week's CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch:

I left my card base plain since the color challenge is also CAS.  And then I was left with a scrap of the Melon Mambo patterned paper with a circle cut out of it and I couldn't just toss it, so...

I made a crabby card too!  Same colors, just switching up the layout since I was using the negative of the circle die cut.  And this card gives more separation between the Melon Mambo and Poppy Parade, which is good.

So two undersea friend cards that came together pretty quickly.  Gotta love that.

I'm going to enjoy my morning cuppa before I wrangle Ryan off to school.  Cheers!
