Coral Seahorse

Mornin' y'all, quick post as I need to get Daphne walked so I can get ready to go to take Ryan to camp.  So here's my quick and easy card for today:

The CAS Colours & Sketches palette instantly made me think UNDER DA SEA (in Sebastian's accent, of course), and I haven't inked up Natural Artistry hardly at all so here we are.  This set has a gorgeous peacock as well and some really fabulous greetings, I need to use it more.

I pulled out scraps of my favorite retired Bright & Beautiful DSP stack for the background; it's actually cut with the same die as the seahorse, but I cut it apart with the split behind the seahorse so I could make it longer.  And like I did for my Paper Players card this week, I added one Antique Pearl for accent because this is CAS too.

Okay, I'm off for a walk with my best girl.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!

Send chocolate, y'all.  It is (checks calendar to make sure) MAY and Ryan has a snow day from school.  He's being an absolute pill this morning too.

Anyway, I have a card to share today with a stamp set I got probably at least a month ago and this is the first time I've inked it up, have a looksie:

All my stamps today are from Natural Artistry, which is a new Online Exclusive I think.  I can't keep track of what is released where any more than I can keep track of what's retired and what's still current.  I used this week's Creative Colour Challenge:

I like to combine challenges, but I couldn't get this one to mesh with the sketch this time so I chucked the sketch and just did the colors.  Sometimes that has to happen or it just doesn't work.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Natural Artistry
Ink:  Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, Real Red
Paper:  Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, Real Red, Basic Beige, Pretty Peacock DSP
Accessories:  Rectangles Stitched dies, Stitched Shapes dies, Stitched So Sweetly dies, Dimensionals, sequins, Wink of Stella

Ryan decided he wanted to cook the taco meat for Taco Tuesday, which rarely happens:

He then informed me that he's a better cook than I am, though he did concede that I might be a slightly better baker.  Ever so slightly.  As my friend John-Paul pointed out, that's a good way to get stuck with cooking every night.

And here's what our backyard looked like around eight o'clock this morning.  It's brighter outside right now but still snowing heavily.  Ryan is currently working on earning back his electronics time so maybe if he does that he'll be a little easier to deal with.  In the meantime, I may go eat more chocolate.  Cheers!
