This week I'm sharing projects with a water theme. Today's card was created using inspiration from my upline, Lisa Henderson. Each month she gives her team a creative and business challenge with different themes or ideas. A great way to keep us crafting and maybe try something new! For this month's creative challenge we needed to create a project inspired by the beach using the colours Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy and Silver. For silver the Silver Foil Specialty pack was perfect to provide 3 different shades behind the image along with a strip of Night of Navy and Smoky Slate. I had a hard time figuring out where the Coastal Cabana would fit but I'm ok with it being the card base colour, I think. Sometimes its easier to roll with using a colour as the base even if you think it might be wrong. What do you think? Was Coastal Cabana the correct one to use as my card base or should I have used a different colour?
Stampin' Up!'s Sailing Home stamp set reminds me of trips to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Every few years I'm down there to visit family or take a vacation. When I was a teenager my mom and I travelled all over PEI to see lighthouses. It was so much fun to take a trip that was just the two of us!
I used Night of Navy ink on this card but you could use Memento Black ink instead or another colour that coordinates. As the photo above shows I stamped and die cut both the lighthouse and sailboat to see which would work better and I asked over on Instagram which one to use! 67% of people voted for the lighthouse image.
