MFT Color Challenge #134



Any challenge that includes grey?  I'm IN!  I'm sorry to say I don't have those beautiful blueish/aqua/teal papers... but!  I do have a few Distress Oxides that I thought worked well, until I added the photo of my card!  Oh well, we'll let the folks at MFT be the judge.  Their darling little Hey, Sunshine [and dies] pool Princess really knows how to relax!   Here is my first entry to MFT Color Challenge #134 - I'll try again later:

The pool was created with one of the MFT Elegant Rectangle Stax
 


If you are an Instagram-er, you'll see how she floats in circles!  See the action at @mfergu01 - OH! thanks for stopping in on laundry day - it definitely changes my attitude toward Monday!

Phew! Just back from IG and out of breath but so glad I went to witness your ongoing genius. Making her swim in circles makes her even more cute.

Great colour combination and she sure looks relaxed and contented x. I must try harder this year and dip into instagram more often Michele as I sure don't want to miss your creativity and fun x.

Fabulous card, Michele! Adore your take on the color challenge. I like the swirls in the pool. So mesmerizing! :) Hopefully, by now your laundry is all done for the time being and you can play, play, play. ;)

I would love to be this sweet gal, but where it's warmer than here! She looks so relaxed just floating in the water. That's my kind of exercise! Great job of coloring all that skin!

I would love to be this little gal too...these gray cloudy skies have me wanted to stay under the covers! LOVE the water...you did an awesome job with these colors!

Hum, how did I miss this on Instagram? What a cute card Michele! I love that little girl floating around on her float. That's what I love to do. lol I think you got the one color of teal in there and all the other colors but the dark teal. So well done in my book! Now I've got to go find this on Instagram so I can see her float around. lol Hugs, Brenda

Oooooh, my favorite PI girl! Great take on the colors--they don't have to be perfect matches and I LOVE the variation of shades in your water!

The pool Princess looks so cute and relaxed, Michele! I wish I could be her.
I hear you, sometimes colors of photos don't show the actual colors. But the pool colors and the swirls stitch pattern are so cool.
