It's Wednesday! Time for the Color Throwdown Challenge!

Hellooooo!! It's Wednesday! So that means it's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! This week, Tammy is hostess and she's got some great colors for you today!
And here's what I did with them:



I started with this adorable crab image from Bugaboo Stamps (digi stamp) called Beach Crab with Bucket. I bought him a few weeks ago and have been dying to use him. And now that I've cleared my schedule a bit I had time to incorporate him into this week's CTD #96.
As soon as I saw the colors, this little beach scene with the crab instantly popped into my head!
I actually don't own a single scrap of Cool Carribean so I substituted with this decorative cloud paper from K&Co and I tore a couple of So Saffron scraps for the sand which I sponged with the same color to give it a bit of texture. It wasn't enough after it dried so I went back in and used my VersaMark marker and hand-spotted the sand. I stitched a border on my sewing maching for some additional texture, cut out my focal image and added my computer generated sentiment, which I'm sure I've read somewhere before because I'm not that clever, HA!
I decided my card needed a little something else so I added the sun using a combo of So Saffron, Crushed Curry and Summer Sun papers. I think it turned out fun and Summery but not at all what I had in my head! Why does that always happen??!!
Anywhoo, thanks for stopping by today and be sure to visit the Color Throwdown blog to upload your CTD 96 cards and please visit my fellow design team members and leave them some love!
