Hello World ~ CCMC400, JUGS336, The Challenge 66, TSOT264




Hey stampers!  It's Thursday again and that means another Create with Connie and Mary Challenge!  
It's color week....here are our colors.....

I also used the inspiration from Just Us Girls #336 and The Challenge #66 and the sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #264.

The colors in the JUGS photo were similar to our colors and I took inspiration in the weathered wood posts and water theme.  I used the wood DSP from my much loved Farmers Market pack.  In The Challenge #66 photo I drew  inspiration from the wooden anchor and the sailing ship, which ties into {The Open Sea} set that I used.  The Challenge #66 is also a masculine challenge....I think my card is pretty masculine. 
I did a lot of sponging on this card.  In fact, just about every single piece of cardstock I used is sponged...except for the black "hello".  I sponged around the edges of the wood DSP with Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake and then added some light streaks of Delightful Dijon and Lost Lagoon to add to the weathered wood look and tie in the colors.
 I stamped the globe and anchor in stazon ink and colored them with my blender pens and ink pads.  I cut each out by hand and sponged each with Sahara Sand ink.  The globe is layered on two die cut Delightful Dijon sponged circles.
I stamped the ledger stamp from {The Open Sea} with Early Espresso ink onto the Lost Lagoon strip.  I sponged the edges of it with Crumb Cake ink.
I tied the anchor on with some Linen Thread which I layered between the two Dijon circles.
  

I hope you'll get to play with us at Create with Connie and Mary this week....I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
Jenny
