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!

Awesome Father's Day card! You're right, the colours definitely feel nautical! I love all the little details on this card. :)
