Happy Wednesday, peeps! It’s time for another Colour Me…! challenge, and this was a perfect one for me to start on my Father’s Day cards:
These striking colors shouted “nautical” to me, so I pulled out some retired stuff and went to work:
I inked up the Chevron embossing folder with Crushed Curry ink before running it through the Big Shot to get the chevron background; the rest was just stamping, punching, diecutting and snipping! I also used the Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch:
I hope you’ll play along with us this week and be sure to check out what all the fabulous designers at Colour Me…! have come up with!

Thank goodness the rain washed away all these little footprints!

This is a gorgeous card! I didn't know you could get such crisp color from using the embossing folder to color. I'm going to have to try that!
This is amazing, LeAnne! Love the chevron background and the fun nautical elements! Awesome!
Oh my gosh LeAnne! You get an "A" for adorable! You truly made the best use of these colors for such a cute nautical themed card! Love all the little bits and pieces! And what is it about kids and mud? Have a great day :)
Crisp and ship shape!

I guess if you can't get to the beach, you just gotta improvise...way to go, Cassidy! Your card was more than appropriate, LeAnn...
Another great card LeAnn - shows the colours off a treat! Nice muddy toes from Miss Cassidy too!
What a great card! Love how you created that chevron background - looks great with all those nautical elements.
Your nautical card is awesome, LeAnne! I love the inked embossing folder for your background and your fussy cutting is perfect! Congratulations on being the guest designer at Colour Me!
Your muddy footprints are so fun! I know Cassidy had a blast playing in that squishy mud! XX
Awesome Father's Day card! You're right, the colours definitely feel nautical! I love all the little details on this card. :)
This card has so many sweet little details, but I'm mostly impressed by that inked and embossed background! I usually end up with a smeary mess when I attempt it - yours is perfect! You PRO :)
I adore this cute card, those colors just make me smile! Awesome job. Thanks so much for playing along with my sketch challenge this week. And I can not believe how beautiful Cassidy is--she is getting so big!
