PP599 A Cocktails Kind of Day

Happy Sunday, peeps!  I am the hostess at the Paper Players this week, and I've chosen a fun, summery color palette for our challenge this week:

 

These colors seemed to say "summer celebration" to me, and since I am using the stamp set Nothing's Better Than tomorrow at my stamp clubs, I decided to use it for today's card as well:

I wanted to use the FMS sketch, so I had to make my card a larger 5" square to accomodate my cocktail!  

I started with a diecut square of Tahitian Tide cardstock which I embossed with the Seashells embossing folder, sponging the raised areas with some white craft ink.  I then added my elements from Nothing Better Than as well as Friends are like Seashell, stamping and coloring in the challenge colors:

I am sure my family would laugh at this card because I am adamant about not eating or drinking anything BLUE!  But in my stamping world, I don't have to imbibe....I can just create, right?!  My only other addition was  a little blue faceted gem to dot my "i"!  I did add a birthday sentiment on the inside so it is just waiting to be sent to someone with a summertime birthday!

I hope you'll play along with my color challenge this week!  You can find all the details at the Paper Players blog, along with samples from the DT using this fun palette!  

Speaking of drinking and/or eating things that are fake blue, Cassidy sent this to me last week.  She and the family were at Applebee's and apparently Mountain Dew has this:

I could probably get that down, with all that ice, it looks pretty refreshing.  But I'll just stick to my usual water or tea!   Thanks for popping in today, enjoy it and be blessed!
