CASology #214 BEACH

Hello crafty friends! Summer is almost over here in the US but we have one last ditch effort to keep the summer mood going (at least for another week!)....BEACH!

I didn't get to go to the beach as much as I would have liked this summer. I've got to make sure it doesn't happen next year! What I love most about the beach are the colors of the beach and water - always different whether I'm in NJ, Hawaii, or even the Philippines! But they are always gorgeous! 

I was inspired by this color palette I found online which features some of my favorite colors to create with. 

For my card I used similar colors, not quite exact like the photo because I used Kraft ink for my sand to lighten my "beach" card a little bit. I paired kraft with a trio of blue/greens - PTI Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, and Stormy Sea. I masked off diagonal sections and blended ink on to the white panel. 

I die cut THANKS (MFT) out of the bottom inked portion and adhered it with bits of foam tape after I glued down the panel on Ocean Tides card stock base. Love how this turned out - the colors are peaceful and remind me of the beach.

So check out what our DT was inspired to create from BEACH -
