splish splash

It was a given that I would do a card for Color Hues, given that I love the colour Lilac, actually any shade of purple is hard for me to resist. Pairing it as they requested – Color Hues #108-Lilac and Aqua – just made it more fun. I’m also adding this card to CYHTP although I didn’t use the twist option.

My card is a CASE of this one with my own take on the design. Thanks for the inspiration. Using a very old Lawn Fawn die set, I cut the squares in the two colours, then did the larger background panel, and once I had stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, I die cut that too. I dry embossed the white background piece using a StampinUP folder called Starstruck and another called Softwaves for the two squares. The fun little image and sentiment come from another old set by SSS . The image was coloured with some metallic pencils and I used a blending pen to enhance the colours. Foam tape was used to pop the image up slightly. The tiny gems are from my stash.

Thanks for joining me today. I really appreciate your stopping by.

  2. Sweet, pretty card with the lilac and aqua colours. I like the scalloped edges which really sets the card off. The little chick splashing in the water is adorable and the bling or rather gems is a nice touch.

    While having our dinner tonight we enjoyed watching the bluejays taking turns bathing in our high bird bath. A few years ago Cliff put a large post into the ground with a platform five feet up and placed his concrete birdbath he had made and this discourages cats and raccoons from tipping the original low plastic birdbath over. I do place a bowl of fresh water daily on the ground for the skunks, raccoons, even our neighbour’s three cats, especially since summertime here is very humid and hot. Happy Easter!!
