Seaside Wishes Bundle

Seaside Wishes bundle was what Tammy and I chose to feature on our Teach it Tuesday with Tammy & Jennie yesterday.  I had so much fun playing with this bundle.  I knew when I sat down that I didn't want to use the traditional beachy colors, i.e. beiges and blues.  I wanted to get creative and spread my wings a bit.  So I picked out Summer Splash, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop (all 24-26 In Colors) and when I shared it with my friends Patty and Tammy, Patty pointed out that the colors were very close to some of the color combos on the Stampin' Up! color coach they provide us each year.  Sure enough when I looked at the color coach I realized I had switched out the Azure Afternoon for Summer Splash.  The Color Coach is a great spring board for color ideas if you are stuck as to what you want to use when creating.  I have created a link to the Stampin' Up! Color Coach below. Check it out! 

When I created the card I used the technique of creating your own patterned paper by stamping images in my three different colors; starting with the largest image first and then filling in the spots.  You can watch me create the "DSP" for my card in the video below.  

To make the card here are the necessary measurements as well as tools, colors and other important information.
