Color Hues - take two!

It wasn't until my play day with Cindy recently that I thought of the perfect way of combining blue, and brown - sandy brown, that is! - for Color Hues #19  See if you agree... Waffle Flower's Sandy Toes to the rescue!




Hope your weekend includes some fun in the sun!

I agree! What an incredible beach-y background. Love this. That dude has always reminded me of one of our nephews!

I have always loved this fun set and your color combo works perfectly. I can almost smell the sea air! And your little face inside, well.....that says a lot about you!

Totally awesome girl...perfect blues and browns to make this ecstatis lads beach. Even the brown as a berry tan he's sporting is ideal. It's a winner in my book.

I saw the card image before I even looked at the blogname or the watermark and I thougt, Michele made this. And yep, I was right. ;) This makes me smile. The pure joy in this image makes me want to giggle. Your watercoloring is fantastic. Your placement of the image and the flip flop spot on. This is a summer card! Thanks so much for sharing and delighting.

Nothing could be more perfect for these colors, Michele! I can almost hear him whooping in his excitement to get into that water! Awesome smooshing, my friend!

Perfect in every way, Michele!

I'm all for that! I finished school/work Friday and am ready for just these things. That dude is ME! Although we gave up our beloved beach house today for the rental season... so hard. But I have a great friend with a beach house, so I will be her frequent guest all summer... It works! I love this card so much.

What a fabulous "smooshed" beach scene you have created Michele!! I love this dude, he always cracks me up every time you use him. He is about how I feel when it turned warm and we open the pool. lol And Cheers to flip flops period! Love this card my friend, it is fabulous!!!! Not much sun here over the weekend. Did get a little bit on Sunday late afternoon/evening. Was short lived though. Started out with sun this morning, but it is gone now. sigh, I want my sunshine back! Hugs, Brenda

Your watercolor gives the exact feeling of the beach! And How you were able to stick to brown and blue is great! So cute! Now I' HAVE to get this set out!

Glad to see you still playing! At the beach and at Color hues! You nailed those colors with your terrific background! Between the spatters, the image and the wonky stitches this card is moving! Cheers to you!
