I'm back again as the July Guest Designer for Just Us Girls!
This week is Color Week and here is the challenge!
I often have trouble creating when I am told to use certain colors (!?) it can mess with my mojo! But this week was a breeze because I just got out the same stamps I used last week on my JUGS card since they are perfect for these colors!
I cut a panel of water color paper, masked an area to create my section of 'ocean' and pounced the panel onto my craft mat where I had rubbed Ranger Distress Cracked Pistachio and then spritzed with water. When I had achieved the coverage I wanted, I removed the mask and dried the panel with my heat tool. To define the edges better, I drew lines with my 01 Black Micron Pen.
Then I got out the PTI Salt Air: Fauna and Salt Air: Flora stamps and dies. (The stamps seem to be back in the shop but the dies are still back ordered). I selected what fauna and flora I wanted and stamped them onto the die cuts using Pale Peony and Aqua Mist PTI Inks. I layered them over the 'ocean' strip with foam dots, stamped the Psalm verse from an older Sweet N Sassy set called Beauty by the Sea and added 3 enamel dots.
I layered the panel to a slightly larger Hawaiian Shores panel and then to a white card base.
So being told what colors to use wasn't so terrible for me this time!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer - getting outdoors and enjoying yourself - maybe even getting to the beach?! Looking at this card makes me want to go there!
So please join us over at Just Us Girls showing us your creation using aqua, pink and white! You have until 9 pm EST July 26th to link up your card. I'll be back next Saturday with my last creation as Guest Designer for JUGS. What a fun month I've been having creating along this talented team!

Lovely card and use of the colors! I added your card -- so sorry not sure what happened!
Beautiful Julia, love that soft colour combo and your smooshed watery panel.
Beautiful card Julia! LOVE that splashed background with your pretty sea creatures ... the colours are fantastic for this scene! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx
Julia, this is awesome! I think I can do this one! LOL Your mixed media approach is so different from mine, but this makes such a perfect panel of ocean water, and I have under the sea type stamps to get inky! Thanks for the terrific inspiration! Hugs!!
Gorgeous Splash watercolored masked panel for your ocean, Julia. Love your softly colored and die cut under the sea images and sentiment too. TFS and joining us at CAS Watercolour. Hugs..

The pouncing looks fabulous, the stamps are great and what a marvellous colour combination, which is absolutely perfect for the fabulous water scene that you have created x.
You certainly couldn't tell that you have trouble with a color combo! This is so pretty! I love how the soft colors work with these images once again!
Also, sorry for the initial snafu with your card! Glad it was added back in!
This is fabulous! That background is perfect for your pink and aqua sea life. So happy to have you and these fabulous creations joining us. You do really great work!
Hi Julia,
I love how you've used these colors, what a fabulous card! You've used the Salt Life stamps beautifully. I love the sentiment you chose!
I often have the same problem with color challenges, Julia, but your happy little underwater scene is perfect.
