TGIF Challenges 345 - Color Challenge - Awesome Otters

The blues and greens have it! This TGIF Challenge is a color challenge that uses Pool party, Just Jade and Misty Moonlight. I’ve used these colors for this OTTER card featuring a sneak peek of a brand new Sale-a-bration stamp set. This stamp set is called Awesome Otters and will be available to earn for free in January.

On this card I painted a watercolor background using all three colors from this challenge. The otter has been colored using Stampin’ Blends. The otter and greetings have been heat embossed with Black and White emboss powder.

Play along with us this week. More inspiration can be found on the TGIF Challenges Blog. Happy Stamping.
